Now in 2023, it's hard to find quilting rulers and when you do, the price is insane! I just bought your 6" Curve It from your Etsy for what I consider a very reasonable price. I don't do a lot of ruler work, only own two others, a straight one and the Handi Quilter Versa Tool, but have made bed quilts using both complete free motion and some ruler work. I use a domestic machine used to have a Janome 7700 but it was too much of a Cadillac than I needed, I felt (plus no one around here works on them-I'm in a rural mountain area), so I sold it after a few years and bought a Juki HZL G220, then barely learned to use it and put it away for a couple of years. I may end up wanting my big throat space back, LOL. Getting back to my quilting, I wanted a half circle ruler and looked everywhere, but no luck until I found your shop. I'm a master hand quilter since the 80's, but had to learn machine quilting after carpal tunnel symptoms. Anyway, more than you ever wanted to know, I'm sure. Nice to see these in action. ~Cynthia
Hi Cynthia! Thanks for writing and sharing your history. It sounds like you are adapting to everything life is throwing you, including learning new machines. I hope you have great success with the ruler and you know where to find more. I have not increased my prices in a long time and will onyl do so when absolutely necessary. But you're right - it's hard to find high quality quilting tools without the high price. I do the best I can. Happy Quilting! Michael
@@michael.quilts Thank you, Michael (my older son's name as well). I was so pleased to find your rulers and when I need another, will definitely be back. Have a great weekend!
Thank You, Claire. I have more planned. Getting them filmed and edited is another story...LOL. But yes - more on the way. Glkad you enjoy them! Michael
Like you, I have many curved rulers. However, the markings on some of mine are just not worth it. Your markings seem to hold up to logic, plain markings that are easy to read! I am hopeful that the company you use for laser etching your rulers pays very close attention to detail (no wonky/incorrect measurements in their etching). I am anxiously awaiting my order, and a huge thank you for your instructive videos!
Hi Bonnie! I agree with you and hope that the markings are useful for you. I packed and sent your order out today. Let me know how they work for you once you have used them a bit. Thank You! Michael
