If you have tried your hand at free- motion, you know how frustrating quilting a long smooth curve can be. This is because, at some point, we have to stop and reposition our hands and it can be hard to start again while still maintaining a smooth line. Curved rulers make maintaining a smooth, long curve much easier.

Remember, you don’t have to use the entire ruler’s edge. If the curve fits what you need, you can stitch along just part of the ruler instead. These designs are quick to quilt, and glorious when accentuated with free-motion. Have fun! S-curves and spines: Rope: Rope designs are comprised of a series of S-Curves quilted in a row. You’ll need to choose your ruler based on the scale of the area you are filling. Large S- Curves are good for borders, while smaller ones work well for sashing.
