[@nancywatkins1517]

Love, love, love how you get to the point! No wasted time on unnecessary talk. You make it so easy to understand and feel stress free.

[@cc83jc85]

You do explain In great detail, thank you so much! Thanks I’m loving every minute of this, cheers from Australia

[@cathyduran7771]

Thank you for your sweet and fun approach. I'm so glad I found you -- I needed it! 😊

[@debbiestallard694]

Just broke my right shoulder so I'm glad to have your tutorials to watch and absorb more quilting techniques to use in a few months. Thank you!

[@heatherclark1683]

Very good clear explanations thank you very much

[@lindaburkhardt7140]

Great ideas! I have 0 imagination, so having you put these out there actually makes me believe I can use some of these ideas in a real quilt! Yay!!💕

[@debradalton5755]

You have a long arm machine. . . I don't know much about machines. I just purchased a Singer HD6380, a low shank machine. Can I still buy a quilting foot, for low shank, and quilt with the templates you are demonstrating?? I love your videos - fast and to the point and well edited.

[@rondarickard9048]

You are so inspiring and because of you I am letting go of the idea it needs to be perfect. Thank you 🙏 ✌🏻😊

[@LorraineHazlewood-px2ih]

Like the straight to the point videos but would also like to see a video on the nitty gritty.

[@maggiehallinan1771]

Feeling groovy with the wavy rulers! 🌊

[@pammcdowell8635]

I'm so jealous of everyone getting to participate along with you Angela. 🤣 Lol!! But, surgery is in 2 days and I will be out for a while. Ugh...and it looks so fun!!! But you can bet that if I can see when all 3 surgeries are done, im hopping over to the store website and purchasing the panel kit and your 2 new rulers!!! Ive learned what I've been doing wrong when I was using my rulers so im gonna make a few quilt sandwiches and practice practice practice!!! 😁😁 Thank you Angela!!!!

[@kittygage4449]

wish the best for you during your surgeries and a speedy recovery

[@janetmcrae6608]

I love the idea of shifting the wavy lines! It’s adds so much movement and would work well with so many fabrics! Thank you SO much!!

[@stacyjanine6241]

Never thought I wanted a wavy ruler.... now I totally do! Thanks Angela :)

[@summerrose5886]

I love how you break it down into very simple steps...you make it easy to try new techniques! Thanks💖

[@shue458]

Hi Angela, I love Your videos, so helpful, so motivating, as I start my quilting journey with my very first Quilt. Thanks a lot and keep going like this, just fabulous!👏

[@georgiamaynard7022]

Thank you so much for taking time to share your wonderful quilting knowledge!

[@cjane51]

This is so very helpful. Thanks Angela.

[@imanobody3666]

You are so inspiring!! Thank you so much for these videos!!

[@vernalabounty4326]

Excited to try these wavy lines....so many good ideas to add variety.

[@maryt2887]

So many variations! Thank you for this inspiring video.

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Sew fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

[@elizabethjones1658]

Shifting to make it mirror is such a fantastic idea that I would have never discovered!

[@Kitkat-mn5ud]

Another great lesson 👏

[@pamelaarbour3368]

That was so helpful. I bought those rulers but haven't been able to master them as yet.

[@tessatsuyuki]

Question for the live chat: I am using the F wave. Is the quarter inch guideline just inside the curve supposed to line up with my previous stitch line? Also, any tips to control zagged restart after moving the ruler? TIA.

[@pennytonita107]

sure hoping my panel arrives soon. Anxious to get going. Because I'm in Canada it seems it needs to travel the globe before getting to me :-(

[@wensnyderful]

Angela, thanks so much for providing these instructive quilalongs! I did the dot to dot and fills one, and learned so much in the process. I do find, however, starting this ruler one, I’m way more apt to be critical of less than perfect stitches and lines with ruler work, opposed to free motion, where if I make an oops, I can fill around it to make it more purposeful looking. With ruler work, how do I keep myself from constantly wanting to go in with my seam ripper and correct my mistakes from slipping rulers et al? I am not on Facebook, so i won’t be participating in the live q and A , but would love some feedback on working on wonderful just not perfect ruler work. Doing my best, tho! Thanks! Wendy

[@kittygage4449]

Would practicing with Freezer paper and 2 pencils connected with a rubber band help to show the patterns that you can get with your rulers? Of course one would have to be higher or left so that it didn't mark (maybe leaving it unsharpened). If I have time to practice I will try to do this to see if it works. Just trying to find away to practice without using up all my valuable fabric. I still need the practice but thought it might give you away to get specific patterns. I am so enjoying this. Just wish I had more time to practice.

[@susies1955]

Wish I could do these challenges. The ruler foot I bought won't work with my machine. You are so very awesome. 😊❤👍

[@ruthannmccaulley372]

Can't be at computer for live chat but please - - you have three rulers coming out for low shank, any chance Sid will be next? Unfortunately for me I already have all the ones listed as coming out now - but may have to splurge on Squiggy again. Thanks (LOVE Elvira, would love her in low shank too. She was my first - I do doll quilts so that 2" specialty is big for me.)

[@BJ7481]

Thank You. You make it look so easy. I really enjoyed the wavy quilting and all the tips you've given. BJ

[@jessicapierson9817]

Is there a way to do your wishbone pattern with a ruler of some sort? The pattern is on the Taj ruler packaging but I can't figure out how to do it.

[@patriciabrewer4974]

You make it look so easy! Where do you get your rulers?

[@virgie704]

Try Amazon or Google it and they will come up.

[@JoelEstonactoc-q4j]

Where can I purchase these rulers? Thanks

[@brittanypennington1707]

What kind of machine are you using?

[@darcisavelli546]

I received the panel and other things in the mail today and I was going to do this and make sure I caught up and I was sewing for a little while and something happened with my machine and it locked up on me. I have a Singer Patchwork and whenever I step on the pedal C4 comes up. I looked in my manual and all it says is to turn it off and then back on. It hasn’t helped at all. I have only had my machine since Christmas.

[@DD-ek8qc]

I have a question. I often get stuck in just one place. I see you have one hand on the ruler and one on the quilt. Is this what I'm doing wrong? Am I pushing too hard with both hands against the ruler?

[@janraster200]

How do you keep the ruler straight when quilting horizontally across a wider panel? Do you mark a horizontal line and try to follow it?

[@kittygage4449]

I'd like to know this too!

[@judycampbell9640]

I am using Elvira, and am not understanding the stop and start marks, when shifting the ruler to do the next stitching, if I start from the bottom start mark again, my wavy line doesn't work out right, it and I am wondering what I am doing wrong.

[@catherinemccurdy7518]

I don’t have a wavy ruler. However, I do have Sid, so I’ll use that for this step. 🥰

[@elainebailey527]

Can’t wait to try with Squiggy!

[@elainebailey527]

What’s the best way to stop and start the thread?

[@debbieevans7276]

Sqiggy is what I am starting with too!

[@Rhodeygirl]

Do you have a low shank or high shank machine? I love how Sid is multi-use but worried it won't work with a low shank machine.

[@catherinemccurdy7518]

Rhodeygirl I have a high shank machine. I think there are high and low shank options.

[@FrederickAbner-g9x]

Ilene Shoals

[@Rhodeygirl]

LOW SHANK Users - does anyone have the HandiQuilter Wave F ruler? It's listed as a 1/4 inch tall. Are you able to use it with your low shank machine? I love the shape but worried it won't fit in every direction around the ruler foot.

[@lindytrevanion236]

I have one, I don't believe it will work in every direction around your foot. It's ok on my high shank pfaff but if my finger gets in the way of the screw it sure hurts!

[@christydavis1749]

Thank you Angela! So glad to have you back in all of our quilting lives!!💕💕

[@angellynhorner6298]

I want that T-Shirt

[@janehousewright3344]

You do use teeny tiny stitches.

It was.

[@kathyknit6147]

What comes with the $44.99 pkg?

[@susandivan6323]

The panel price is $44.99. The border, backing and thread are add-ons.

I struggle with FMQ and working with rulers has been so much fun and, for me, more successful. Thanks, Angela! I have to say I have quite a few rulers but I like yours the best.
