Introducing the New Double Diamond Quilting Ruler
When it comes to quilting notions there is an endless choice of templates, marking pens, cutting tools, threads, rulers, etc. that a quilter can utilize. Once in a while it may seem tricky to decide which materials to pick and where to start when it comes to making an unique quilted item. A new quilting ruler called the Double Diamond Ruler is a good place to begin.
The Double Diamond Ruler offers a marvelous way for you to add a diamond-shaped embellishment to any design. Prior to the introduction of the Double Diamond Ruler it was quite cumbersome to make a diamond pattern. In the past the process required tracing a pattern onto fusible interfacing, ironing it onto the fabric and then snipping the drawn lines with scissors. Talk about time consuming! Thanks to the Double Diamond Ruler this is no longer necessary.
With two sizes available the Double Diamond Ruler now helps you easily create both 1 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Make an eye-catching eyeglass holder or even a shoulder strap for your purse by 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 have decided which sized Double Diamond Ruler will work best for your project you will need to choose 3 quality fabrics to work with: a contrast fabric, background fabric and main fabric. Solid color fabrics work best but small prints can produce an interesting effect too. Avoid large prints because they will not show the diamonds as well.
