Welcome to the first lesson of our Ruler of the month journey! I'm so excited to help you all learn this awesome technique. Please send me any questions here and I will respond as soon as possible!

[Gail T.]

Will there be video and demonstrations monthly? Or is this just an opportunity to buy rulers , get the download designs and ask questions about how to use them on this venue?

[Gina P.]

Hi there! It is a quilt along project with new videos and rulers featured each month You will learn tons of ruler techniques and can create a piece right along with me!

[Peggy M.]

First of all, thank you Gina and TQS for offering this class.
Like others, I'm also confused about the video vs downloads. Downloads don't match the sections being discussed in the video so it's not clear how to mark these sections.
I'm having trouble deciphering the complete layout diagram. I think all the information is there, I just need to study it some more, and getting that figured out will help.
I agree with others that it would be helpful to see a picture of the finished project.
Thanks!

[Gina P.]

Hi Ladies! I'm sorry that there seems to be some confusion in the handouts. Let me sort through them today and post something that may help you. This month is probably the most difficult as it is paving the road for the following lessons. I will also post a picture of the completed quilt for you.

[Gail T.]

Thank you for doing this.
Just after I posted a question about whether there was a video, I got a pop up link to watch the Shirley video. Now my question is - will the videos be available for the year on demand? How can we access them in the future? At this time I don't Shirley posted on the Education'/Classroom heading on the Quilt Show website. I hope to be able to review the video as needed. Thanks again.

[Karin M.]

I can't find the Shirley video at all either. I've looked under all the headings and put in a bunch of key words with no success. Shirley...I mean surely we aren't meant to have access on only the first day.....

[Peggy M.]

To find the videos, go to thequiltshow.com,and click on Classroom.

[Karin M.]

Oh...I thought that was just a heading. Thanks!

[Karin M.]

Can't find the size of the Shirley ruler. Is it 1/4" thick which is required for use on the longarm?

[Gina P.]

Yes, it's 1/4" thick

[nancy t.]

I see the shirley ruler is 1/4 inch but descriptions of future rulers for this project is for low shank only and is only 1/8 inch. At least what they are selling on TQS. I want to be able to use these also on long arm. Do ypu have them all in 1/4 inch?

[Barbara A.]

I'm a little confused about the size of the rulers. I'm trying to purchase the Mastery Kit ($199 for all the rulers) but there appear to be two options, one for (LOW SHANK ONLY), and another that doesn't say anything about the shank. What is the difference? Can you tell me which of these options will work with my Viking Designer I machine? Also, what if I get a new machine (considering a Janome), will the rulers work with any of the Janome machines? Thanks!

You're showing Block #6 as the 2nd Block you're quilting in the video, but there's no reference to block 6 in the individual diagram printouts. Therefore, we have no idea what it's supposed to look like when finished.
