Westalee Rulers can help to transform your Free Motion Quilting by enabling you to undertake free mo-tion quilting in a controlled way on your domestic sewing machine. Using the rulers will help you to stitch a large range of beautiful patterns and designs to complement your quilts. I know that using a new prod-uct can be a bit intimidating, so this class is designed to help you get the most from your Westalee Rulers by providing hands on advice, guidance and encouragement. Several elements will be covered on this interactive day including, attaching the Westalee foot and setting the height correctly, holding and using the standard ruler to good effect and using ruler markings. A PREREQUISITE IS EITHER EXPERIENCE WITH FREE MOTION QUILTING OR HAVE TAKEN OUR BEGINNING FREE MOTION CLASS.
