Quilting with the Double Diamond Ruler
Today’s quilter has access to an endless choice of quilting notions including rulers, templates, marking pens, cutting tools and threads to mention merely a few. As the time to create a new quilted item approaches it may seem tricky to know which materials to choose and where to start. A great place to begin is with a quilting ruler named the Double Diamond Ruler.
The Double Diamond Ruler provides a great way for you to add a diamond-shaped embellishment to any project. Making a diamond pattern was rather cumbersome to accomplish before the invention of the Double Diamond Ruler. In the past you would have had to trace a design onto fusible interfacing, iron it onto the fabric and then clip the drawn lines using scissors. Talk about time consuming! Thanks to the Double Diamond Ruler this is no longer necessary.
The Double Diamond Ruler is available in two sizes making it possible for you to create either 1 1/2″ or 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Create an attention-getting eyeglass case or even a purse strap utilizing the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler. Select the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler and begin adding distinctive, dimensional diamonds to wall hangings, table runners or even table toppers.
Once you’ve determined what size Double Diamond Ruler will work best for your project you will want to pick out 3 quality fabrics to work with: a background fabric, main fabric and contrast fabric. Solid color cloths work best but the diamonds do not show well when you utilize large prints. Nonetheless, small prints can result in an intersting effect.
