    So it is to rule or not to rule. As queen of my quilt I will always doubt between ruler or free motion, I have no PS. My character tends to free motion, but my ability to rulers. Thank you for all your good education video's, watched in the Netherlands.

    Useful tips. Since I did freemotion only for 15 years, I do find it quicker in some areas but my hands aren't as steady as they once were (age 75 now) so rulers are a necessity at times!

    I am very new to ruler-based quilting - bought the rulers (fave is the Versa-tool) and used the straight & curved side to do a table runner on my domestic but life gets in the way of me practicing more than that. Now that I've installed the conversion kit on my "new to me" HQ Sweet 16 sit-down, I'm excited to do more!
