- Are you having trouble machine quilting with curved rulers on your longarm? I am here to help! Using my new curved ruler, Squiggy, I’ll show you how to quilt curves with your longarm quilting machine.
No longarm? No problem! Even if you quilt with a sewing machine, you will still benefit by learning how to use Squiggy to quilt serpentine lines in 2” borders as well as how to quilt wavy lines.
If you have any questions at all, please leave them in the comment section! I am glad to help and will answer them as often as I can!

Very beautiful
Thank Angela, now I can justify buying your rulers! I didn’t know how well they were going to work out on a long arm. Love your videos and your sense of humor.
Yay!! I have more in the works as well, so stay tuned!!
Thank you so much for all your helpful videos!!!
You are magical. Can’t wait to use your rulers!!
Big hugs right back atcha!!!
Thank you Angela for such a clear, instructional video. I really liked the black fabric with the gold thread - it made everything so easy to see. I don't know how you got such a great camera angle, but we can see almost every stitch you make. What an excellent video!
Thank you. This has given me some hope to quilt my own quilts.
I love all your video's and have learnt so much.
Thank you for your videos. I get so much help and confidence in going forward with trying new techniques. I’m an “insecure” quilter, mainly because I think it has to be perfect. You have helped me so much to just “let it go” and work at enjoying the process. Your love for quilting is infectious. Thank you so very much. And red wine is my favorite! Wish I could give you a hug right now.

Bought the rulers. Can't wait till make time to practice using them. Thanks Angela. You are very creative.
Great Job Angela! I like how versatile your ruler is. I have projects ready to quilt but have just not gotten up the nerve to do it on my domestic machine.
Thanks Angela waves lines looks great, I'm about to give it a go.
Angela, this video is awesome. I ordered this ruler and have not used it because I needed this visual "push" to help me get started. Thanks so much, this has really helped.
Yay!! Go for it and let me know if you have any questions!!
Thank you for responding. I'll order the set.
Thank you for all the quilting videos for home sewing machines! I just bought an HQ 710 sewing machine based on your recommendation on the Midnight Quilt Show and this gives me a lot of guidance on how to start playing. Keep up the great work! Love watching your shows.
Yay!! Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate the support so much!
Love your Videos on FMQ&RULERS Home sewing machine! Thank You for all your Good Help! I just sent for "Shorty" to try!!Keep your Video's coming Angela!!
A great video, just right for me as a beginner. I also like how you encourage us not to worry. Too often I'm cramped because everything is supposed to be right. The length of your video is correct for beginners. I am also glad, because then I can read the translation in the subtitles. Thank you very much.
Thank YOU for watching, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support!
Awesome Love the quilting videos!
Hey Angela, this is awesome. I was able to catch your newest Craftsy class for free this past weekend. SCORE!!! I've got your rulers, well three of them, and they are superior to the other ones I own. I am still a beginner on the domestic, tried the longarm - but huge learning curve there! Just read that you have more in the works which is great. Please keep up the good work you are doing. You are a natural instructor, fun to watch and I am always amazed and sadden a bit when the class is over. Your bud, Tula is coming to Ottawa this month - so excited. The two of you together would be even better. Cheers.
This is great, I have never used rulers. In fact I normally hand quilt because my only machine is over 40 years and the throat is too small to use for quilting. I love your videos. Can't wait to get a sit down machine so I can start machine quilting too!
Marcelle Speake I recently upgraded myself to an older Bernina with a 12 inch throat. I had just the machine you probably have for basic sewing. I can hardly wait, I ordered the set of Quilting rulers from QIMT web page.

You make it look so easy
Just ordered one of your ruler. Should b here tomorrow. However I don't have the appropriate foot. Ha e a Pfaff 5.2 so hoping I can use the quilting foot on it. Thank u. Love your videos. They can't come fast enough!
Looking forward to trying to do FMQ with you now I will have no distractions due to having to stay at home.
I have a tall stack of quilts ready to free motion but can't get over the hurtle of trying new techniques. I purchased the Squiggly and can't wait to play. I hope its the answers to my fear of missing out (FMO) on quilting cool patterns. I'll report back, thanks! Mary
Hi Angela, today is my first day to jump in the deep water of ruler quilting. I love your videos, but not sure should I set my machine for free motion quilting or not. It migh sound stupid to ask, but I'm a really newby. Thanks and give more videos for us quilters, they are a lots of help!
Thank you so much for using a long arm
Thank you so much for the videos! I just ordered squiggly Saturday and can hardly wait till he gets here. I hope you include some long arm quilting on the Midnight Quilt Show! I’m working on the On Point Quilt now... somehow it takes me longer than 1 all nighter to complete lol
LOL, you got to love the magic of editing!!!
Silesian quilting
Love this one.
Yay! I am so glad that you find it helpful!!
I have started my second quilt using this ruler. It works so well for me!
Mary Damiano is
Eadie, what am I?
❤️
Great video, now I understand the designs on the package much better. I need help on how you merge the corners of borders.
I will definitely show that in a future video!! Thanks so much for watching!
Your sewing is very good.
Do you use sewing machines?
Love your tutorials, what thread are you using in the quilting with curved rulers? Thanks
Angela, Thanks for this video. I am always amazed at how easy you make things look. I have a Babylock Tiara III and am wondering if you could possibly make a video showing how to ruler quilt on a sit down long arm. I have a couple of rulers I purchased at a quilt and craft show, but find it cumbersome trying to hold the ruler and move the quilt at the same time. Any secrets or tips you can give me. I absolutely love and enjoy your videos. I SEW wish I could meet you one day. Thanks for any info you can give me and have a super day!
Will do!!!! In the meantime, here's a link to a ruler tutorial that I did on a Sweet 16 sit down longarm: ua-cam.com/video/VbCLVLqA0nY/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for watching and supporting me!!
Thank you, Angela for responding. I will watch that video this morning..
Hi Angela, great tutorial on the curves and rulers. What is your recommendation on stitches per inch, does more or less make a difference in the curves?
I don't think it makes a huge difference. However, if you are quilting something with points, you may want to use more stitches so that you can get a nice point. Maybe something like 12 per inch.
Thanks so much for the wonderful videos! In what order would you suggest purchasing these great rulers?
Having fun playing . The packaging has some ovals in the boarder. I am having trouble figuring out just how to place the ruler for the ovals. I am getting little points
I was just watching "reruns" of the Midnight Quilt Show when I got this notification! Hooray! PS - How much is an average mid or longarm machine? Don't worry, you can't shock me with the price, even if it's more than, say, $50!! PPS - Because I know the machines are _a little more_ than $50, do you still offer quilting services?
They range anywhere from 5,995 to 27,995, depending on the type of machine that you want. If you want some more specific info, just shoot me an email at angelawaltersquilting@gmail.com. Thanks so much for watching!!! (((hugs)))
Can you show how to make serpentine lines with this ruler on a low shank DSM? I have the ruler but have difficulty with the lines due to the thickness of ruler and my low shank foot. TIA!
Ohhh good idea! I will definitely have to work on that. Thanks for watching@
Thank you for sharing!, LOVE the quilt behind you!!!!!!!!! what is that?
It's a quilt I made called "Cherry Limeade" Here's a link to the free pattern: www.robertkaufman.com/quilting/quilts_patterns/limeade/
Thank you sooo much!!!!
Baptist fan with circle rulers
That is nice if you havea long arm. But I only have F600 because most of my family like applique quilts and I quilt as you go.
I have done several videos with the rulers on sewing machines. Here's a link to them: ua-cam.com/video/rVTK9HA4DL8/v-deo.html
Hope that helps!
Thank you much
Argh.. I’m liking this.. I think I’m gonna have to get some of these to sell for Mrs Walters on my new up and coming website.. Mrs Walter you Grand Quilting Star Queen you.. How can I get some of these rulers on wholesale? Any information would be hugely appreciated.
And as I live in France.. How about a nice few bottles of chardonnay that only cost a dollar a bottle here.. lol.. If possible.. let me know. Many thanks
I would love for you to carry them!! They are available through Creative Grids UK, here's a link to their website: www.creativegrids.com/
Hope that helps!
Angela Walters
Thank you so much. It was a great help. I’ll do my best to sell as many as I can.
Take care of you and your loving family.
Best regards

Yay!!!
What kind of grippers do you use on your rulers? I am new to this.
How would you turn a corner on a boarder when doing the long curvy technique?
Angela the rulers you use are for high shank or low shank machines? I have a low shank Husqvarna Viking Diamond and Ruby. Will they work with my machines?
I don't remember from the beginning video but are these online forever?
Angela, I have Squiggy and am using it in a 2" border. My spacing in inconsistent. When I go up and back the first space is larger than the return space. Help!
The designs are beautiful. But, I do not see how you line them up, or how wide the finished design is. Do you mark or measure? I thought I would use this for a 4 inch border. I bought the ruler. There are no instructions and no lines or measurements in your video. Can you provide the basics about how I would do that?
What do you think of sit-down longarms?
I got a Sweet 16 in December and am loving it! I had been using a friend's longarm off-on for 3 years and find the sit-down better for me- not limited to 12" throat. Angela's rulers work great on SW16 as they are well proportioned and have grippers on the back to make pushing fabric through easier. I've done small and big lap-size quilts with no problem. Just have to make your space efficient for positioning the quilt as you work and move.
I think they are amazing! They are perfect for the person that might not have the room for a traditional longarm, can't stand for long periods of time, or just prefers to move the fabric. I do sell the Sweet 16 from Handi Quilter. If you have any moe specific questions about the machine you can email them to me at jeremywaltersquilting@gmail.com. Hope that helps!
Thanks, to both of you, I'll look into them .
Angela I just got my rulers and notices in the video that you don't use a ruler foot but the ordinary hopping foot. No problems in doing this?
I'm actually using a ruler foot, it just looks alot like the regular free-motion quilting foot. Here's a link to the exact foot that I am using:
quilting-is-my-therapy.myshopify.com/products/specialized-free-motion-quilting-feet-set-hq-stitch-open-toe-foot-ruler-foot
Hope that helps!
Do you have any idea whether this would fit on a Q'nique 14+?
Angela can I get a foot for an old machine when the dealers are no longer in business. I have some quilting rulers but have never tried them yet also want to learn free motion quilting. I have a Kenmore machine probably made in about the 1960's. Feed dogs do not lower on it however I understand that they can be covered up. Another machine that I have is a Koyo model #1450. This machine needs a new hook but there are no longer any dealers to contact. Some of the time it is in working order and some times the tension is off. Have had it worked on by a repairman. The Kenmore model # is 1211. Just need to know how I can purchase a foot for these old machines so I can learn free motion and ruler quilting. Do I just need to purchase a more modern machine or what?
Can your rulers be used on a regular home machine?
They definitely can!! Here's a link on how to use this ruler on a sewing machine: ua-cam.com/video/rVTK9HA4DL8/v-deo.html
Hope that helps!!
yes! just be sure to use a ruler foot (has higher ring around the needle to protect the ruler. These rulers already have a gripping element on the back so help "push" the quilt under the needle.
How do you use serpentine lines around a corner?
What thread do you use for machine quilting
M.
All I can think of during your recent videos is ewww! Your use of low loft batting makes your beautiful quilting so blaa. Not motivating me to try these ideas at all. Using a higher loft batting would really show the beautiful texture you are creating. I'm so sorry for your wasted effort. 😥. With love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵.
