Quilters today have access to an endless choice of quilting notions including threads, rulers, templates, marking pens and cutting tools to name just a few. As the time to create a new quilted item approaches it may seem challenging to know which materials to choose and where to start. A new quilting ruler named the Double Diamond Ruler is a great place to begin.

The Double Diamond Ruler offers a marvelous way for you to add a diamond-shaped ornamentation to any design. Prior to the invention of the Double Diamond Ruler it was rather cumbersome to make a diamond pattern. Previously you would have had to draw a pattern onto fusible interfacing, press it onto the fabric and then clip the drawn lines with scissors. Talk about time consuming! Thanks to the Double Diamond Ruler this is no longer necessary.

With two sizes available the Double Diamond Ruler now helps you easily create either 1 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Create an attention-getting eyeglass case or even a shoulder strap for your handbag by using the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a wall hanging, table runner or even table topper utilizing the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.

Once you’ve decided which sized Double Diamond Ruler works best for your design you will need to choose 3 quality fabrics to work with: a background fabric, main fabric and contrast fabric. Solid color cloths work best but small prints will result in an interesting effect too. Avoid large prints because they will not display the diamonds as well.
