Machine Quilting with Rulers - Squiggy and Serpentine Lines

[@deniselawrence7491]

Oh crap! I bought this ruler to make serpentine lines on my echo''s and curves panel but didn't know how to use it, so it's sat in the box until today when I found this video! Now I must learn to use squiggy!

[@amysmith5863]

I think I have watched all of your new ruler videos at least twice.....Angela you make it look so easy! I may have to put these rulers on my list for a Valentine’s Day gift! Yep these and a ruler foot! Thanks Angela!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Thank YOU for watching! There are more in the works :)

[@drmichaelelinski6992]

Really like your new set of rulers. These unique shapes create so many variation of borders and more.

[@jeannegennaro4482]

Once again Angela... You show me that I "probably COULD do this" YOU make it look so easy! AND you have another convert.. I've been telling my daughter about you... Apparently she binge watched all of them today! Yayyy!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

YAY!!! That's the ultimate compliment!! Thanks so much for your support!

[@mhuser4590]

These are awesome! I tried serpentine lines when I was learning free-motion quilting and, like you said, they didn't turn out right. So I took them off my list of designs I use on quilts. HOWEVER, since I have Squiggy, I am putting them back into my tool box! Even corners were fairly intuitive but I need more practice to get them just right. Thanks Angela!

[@marciaholliman7693]

Just got mine today in the mail, so excited to use them in my next project. I quilt in a version of a long arm. so can't wait to see your next video.

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay!! I just released a couple more and plan on having several more soon!!

[@marciaholliman7693]

Thank you, I am ready to use one of mine, but a little nerves.

[@carmenbailey1560]

Been thinking about purchasing this exact ruler. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@vickig7033]

I'm excited to get started using my rulers. They arrived today!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay!!!!! Thanks so much for your support!!

[@nancykellough8247]

Angela, I love the sweet sixteen quilter, however, as with all early -on quilters I cannot come up with ideas to quilt. The rulers are great; yours as well as handi quilters, but I would like to see all the designs that can be made from the rulers in one book so that I can study and decide what I want to make before I buy a ruler. I realize this is on the package but I would like to see them all together. Is this a possibility in the future?

[@catherineknoth8288]

I bought all four...haven't tried them yet as I'am new to this so still feeling a bit intimidated....Love your videos...told my cousin who lives in the UK about you so she's watching too.

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay! Thanks for spreading the word, I so appreciate it! Don't feel intimidated, just go for it! I promise that it's easier that you think!!

[@suzisaintjames]

Mind blowing possibilities! ... May 2018 be the most blessed so far for you and your family, from sunny Arizona, 72/48f today.

[@lorrainecooper137]

Thanks Angela I have learned so much from you but because of you have unlearned even more if that makes sense. I always wondered why things were done a certain way when I could do it using my own shortcuts but being told its because it has always been done like that!

[@426cudalady]

I bought all 4 of your rulers after seeing your first video showing them. I just got them in the mail and am looking forward to trying them out. Thanks for making this video so I'll have something to refer to. Happy New Year!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay! I hope you will share pictures.

[@maryknowles1451]

I have been practicing with mine and I love them.

[@christiebaldwin9145]

Archie and Shortie have arrived. Now to practice and become very clever!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay!!!! Go for it and let me know if you have any questions!

[@pamelasherman1314]

Just purchased the set! Can’t wait!!

[@sabrinamyrick5434]

Heyyyy squiggy!! Happy for the new video thanks Angela. Happy new year to you and your family 😊

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@leslielee2375]

Yay! Thank you so much for the video! I have one afternoon left of Christmas vacation, and so I’m playing with all four of your rulers. KZbin just informed me you posted this! These are so awesome and give me so much more confidence with my fmq! You’re the best!

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay! I am so glad that you like them!

[@treezza2817]

What kind of ruler foot should I use? The one I have now from Westalee is not working because the needle does not fall in the center of the ruler foot circle, so alignment is impossible. I'm wondering if the hopping foot type ruler foot can be used or if it will hop onto the ruler and cause problems. My machine is a Juki TL18-QVP. Thanks for your help!

[@virginiaowensby8413]

Angela I sent you a question and I can’t find where I sent it. It was regarding a ruler pressure foot. I wanted to know if one would fit my machines? One of my Pfaff’s is a 1471, and the other I think is a performance 2054. When you have an opportunity please let me know. I will go to your shop as soon as possible I live your videos, your advice and teaching. Thank you so much.

[@hazelgiles7058]

Wow fantastic thanks for this one can’t wait for you to do the next ones

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

I have new videos out now!! Click here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIe3fGx-dpl3gpo

[@quiltedsplendor]

I just ordered the quilting foot from Westalee and Slim, Shorty & Squiggy from Craftsy. My stitches are uneven, etc. Westalee told me to lower my bobbin tension and I have ordered a second bobbin holder so I can leave bobbin tension alone for sewing. What are your suggestions?

[@craftlady57]

Hi Angela I bought all 3 as a gift to myself for Xmas 😊 now I just have to get brave enough to try them. Newbie fear. I have the Juki QVP mini I made the mega star quilt also so I need to learn both this year..New Years resolution..lol

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Go for it!!!! You will love them!

[@dinahforbes4298]

Can you use this ruler on narrower borders than the one shown in the video?

[@feliciafew591]

Looks like a great tool to have. Do you need a special foot to use any of the rulers?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

If you are working on a sewing machine, you may want to get a ruler foot. Here's a video where I share all the supplies that I like to use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3ylend5ipirfbM

[@feliciafew591]

Thank you so much. I really enjoy your show.

[@maryellenzajac5716]

Am I able to use in a larger than 3 inch border or smaller than a 2 inch ?

[@lisaluminati2261]

My machine came with a shank(I believe that’s what it’s called) but it’s not a circle one it’s more like a oval shape, is that still good for using with the ruler? Thanks!

[@teresacraig3166]

nice rulers, just bought a quilter so how do i get these rulers angela?

[@larrybogart7268]

Angela how do you do the corners in sashing when there is no corner stones when using Squiggy for serpentine lines?

[@sprklhair]

Do you use a different spring quilting foot? Mine does not have as high a profile to rest against the ruler.

[@maaikedebruin806]

I would love to use these rulers, but I can’t find a closed quilting foot for my Pfaff sewingmachine. Only half circles or open quilt foot. Do this mean I can’t use a ruler?

[@chloeschwarz7283]

How do I find the description box and the downloads? I don't see anything except comments. Thanks!

[@shirleykrull7280]

Do you drop your dog feet and move the fabric along. I am new to machine quilting. Using my sewing machine.

[@catedoss1556]

So glad I have a longarm. 🤪

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

LOL, I agree! You can use them on a longarm as well!

[@carlagarceau3794]

Cate Dos

[@lindabukovac7246]

Can I use your rulers with a mid arm machine. Tiara1, thank you in advance.

[@janetsnowden7487]

Hi Angela, do you ship to Australia? They look awesome by the way, and you explain them so well.

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

I do ship to Australia, although shipping is kinda expensive. If you are interested, here's a link to the rulers: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/machine-quilting-ruler-set-designed-by-angela-walters-and-creative-grids

[@sw11265]

How do I use Squiggy to create shorter serpentines?

[@marciajager8713]

I am using my free motion ruler foot, my IDT is lifted away but IDT foot keeps bumping my squiggly ruler:( not sure what to do?

[@Riley_playzz8910]

What is price of your new rulers and where do I get them

[@maryisenman3546]

Why can’t I order the whole set? It won’t let me check out ? 🥺

[@ec1582]

sandy I mean is the foot thick enough for the ruler

[@KarensSelfemployJourney]

Hi Angela! What sewing machines will this ruler work with?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

It will work on most machines. You don't have to have a ruler foot, but it will be helpful.

[@memefraser3961]

Hi Angela, do you need a special foot to use rulers?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

You don't have to have a ruler foot, but if you plan on using them a lot you may want to consider getting one

[@charlottetuttle8908]

Can this be used on long arm what is the thickness of the ruler?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yes it definitely can!! I will have videos showing that soon!

[@not_today_satan_7]

I like it

[@ec1582]

Hi Angela. I have a Pfaff Creative Sensation Pro. Will these rulers work with my machine? Thanks.

[@sandylbc]

If your bed is big enough. If not they make that clear extension table for any machine. Everybody sells them.

[@patseuling7707]

Do you need a special foot? I know other rulers require a special foot

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

You don't have to have a ruler foot, but if you plan on using them a lot you may want to consider getting one.

[@vanessacoombs91]

Love this Ruler, is it or will it be available in the UK?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yes it will, depending on which shops carry it. I ship to the UK (although it is expensive).....

[@campannette]

The hard part about this ruler is finding it. Mine is playing Hide and Seek with me in the ruler drawer, I think. I have right-left confusion so this ruler helps greatly.

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yay!! I am so glad that you find it helpful!

[@ronig81]

Can you show us how to use the 2 inch part of squiggy. Thanks

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

I definitely will!!! Give me a week or two and I will get it up! Thanks for watching!

[@ayleenjackson3140]

Do you need that special foot on the machine if so where can I buy one.

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

You don't have to have a ruler foot, but if you plan on using them a lot you may want to consider getting one. Here's a link to the foot that I have for my machine: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/machine-quilting-supplies/products/specialized-free-motion-quilting-feet-set-hq-stitch-open-toe-foot-ruler-foot

[@elainemoulson2578]

Can I buy them in the uk.

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Happy New Year! Your rulers will work on what sewing machines?

[@luckysinclair7327]

Hi Angela do you have any of the ruler available on your site how can I order do you also sell ruler foot for a singer promise 1412 and a brother XR 1355

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

I do have the rulers available on my website: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/machine-quilting-ruler-set-designed-by-angela-walters-and-creative-grids I don't have a ruler foot for those machines specifically, here's the one that I carry: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/collections/machine-quilting-supplies/products/specialized-free-motion-quilting-feet-set-hq-stitch-open-toe-foot-ruler-foot

[@handmadebyMickie]

Angela I really enjoy your videos and these rulers. How do I know what speed to sew at so I get even stitches? Or is it just practice, practice, practice?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

It just takes a little practice!!

[@juneblake5187]

What type of ruler foot are you using

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Here's a link to the ruler foot I use for my machine: quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/products/specialized-free-motion-quilting-feet-set-hq-stitch-open-toe-foot-ruler-foot Hope that helps!!

[@laurakilner440]

❤️

[@Peedee3030]

Hi Angela is this also usable on long arms

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Yes it is! I will make videos for the rulers on longarms as well!!

[@feliciafew591]

Hi Angela. I tried to order the Squiggy ruler from you web site and got this message We don't offer shipping to District of Columbia. I live in Washington, D.C. could this be correct?

[@AngelaWaltersfmq]

Thanks so much for the heads up!! It was an error on my website but I have fixed it. If you would like to use the promo code QIMTSHIP you can get free shipping for your trouble. Thanks so much for watching!

[@feliciafew591]

Thank you

[@melaniekay3647]

These look like so much fun, but I don't think Janome makes a ruler foot for my machine, the sewist 500. 😭

[@hh0520]

Melanie Kay have you looked on amazon? I’ve been looking all over for this foot and the most expensive I’ve seen was $90 usd while the cheapest was $30 usd

[@54gravi]

Squiggy is available at Angela's shop for $21.99usd, go up to the Show more and click on it. The information is there.

[@gbritten9208]

Go to Accents in Design. They make a Fine Line Clarity Ruler foot - one that you can see where you are going. They will help you find the right shank for your machine.

[@sandylbc]

I’m sure they do? But you’ll have to ask your dealer to order it

[@gbritten9208]

I found a shank for my Bernina on Amazon for $10, cheaper than dealer. It works with Clarity Ruler foot.

[@rosemaryl.]

Angela, please have your tech people watch the video BEFORE posting.
