Episode 91—Rulerwork Quilting: From Straight Lines to Designs

Not all rulers are created equal! Cutting rulers help us measure and cut fabric with precision, but quilting rulers are a whole different tool—designed to guide your stitches as you quilt. In this episode, we dive into the world of quilting rulers, with a special nod to Amanda Murphy’s beautifully designed sets. You’ll learn how quilting rulers differ from cutting rulers, what makes them so powerful for creating consistent motifs, and how to use them effectively on both domestic and longarm machines. Whether you’re curious about ruler work or ready to add new designs to your quilting toolkit, this episode will inspire you to see rulers in a whole new light.
