Rulerwork 102

Now that you’ve tamed the tension on your machine, you’re ready to learn alternate uses for the straight line ruler. You will learn double crosshatching and crosshatching on the diagonal. We will also begin using a second ruler, Bernina 4-in-1 ruler or Westalee arc ruler (the same one we are using for the straight line stitching). We will make 2 more blocks, similar to the last one we made in Ruler Work 101. The difference in the look of the new blocks

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before class to set up your machine.

You will be cutting the pieces for the pattern (at least some, maybe all!). Session 2 will focus on sewing the quilt top and how to measure for borders.
