Level up your ruler-work quilting in the first video of the Free Motion Quilting Along Challenge: Arcs, Curves & Points with Rulers. In this lesson, I walk you step-by-step through marking your quilt, using arc rulers on both a sewing machine and a longarm, creating geometric motifs, and quilting consistent curves across blocks of all sizes.

You’ll learn how to:
• Mark reference points on your quilt
• Use arc rulers on a domestic sewing machine
• Quilt crescents and inward curves with precision
• Apply ruler motifs on a printed panel
• Scale motif designs for different block sizes
• Use rulers effectively on a longarm
