When it comes to quilting notions there is an endless selection of threads, rulers, templates, marking pens, cutting tools, etc. that a quilter could utilize. Now and then it may seem tricky to know which materials to pick and where to begin when it comes to making an unusual quilted item. A new quilting ruler called the Double Diamond Ruler is a great place to begin.

The Double Diamond Ruler provides a marvelous way for you to add a diamond-shaped embellishment to any project. Prior to the invention of the Double Diamond Ruler it was quite cumbersome to produce a diamond pattern. In the past you would have had to make a pattern onto fusible interfacing, press it onto the fabric and then snip the lines you drew with a pair of scissors. Talk about time consuming! The Double Diamond Ruler ended all that.

The Double Diamond Ruler is available in two sizes which makes it possible for you to make either 1 1/2″ or 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Use the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler to create an eye-catching eyeglass case or purse strap. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a wall hanging, table runner or even table topper using the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.

Once you have decided which sized Double Diamond Ruler will work best for your project you’ll want to pick out 3 quality fabrics to work with: a background fabric, main fabric and contrast fabric. Solid color cloths work best but the diamonds do not display well when you use large prints. Nonetheless, small prints can produce an intersting effect.
