Straight Line Quilting on the Longarm Using Rulers – Garden Plot
This is a beginner level straight line quilting on the longarm tutorial.
In this course I’ll show you how I used rulers to create straight lines that are exactly one-inch apart and perfectly straight every time.
This course ONLY includes the quilting tutorial for this quilt. It is included as part of the pattern course at this link.
There’s three reasons why I don’t just use channel locks.
First, your leaders have to be rolled perfect straight. Mine aren’t, never have been, probably never will.
Second, you have to have loaded your quilt on perfectly straight, also a high chance for human error.
Last, you have to trust that all of your piecing was also perfectly straight. Can any of us every trust that? I’m pretty darn accurate and I don’t.
But using rulers allows you to make adjustments as you go to keep your lines nice and uniform while allowing for any minor inconsistencies you might encounter. Enjoy!
