I have done some improv curves but nothing like this. I have heard so much about your ruler :) And all good of course :) Your patterns are beautiful!

Fabraholic said...

I've been needing a curve ruler for a long time...thanks for the chance!

starfishalley said...

I've loved watching the creations with your ruler and would love to have my own.

Cathy said...

I have sewn curves a lot, but for garment sewing...not sure how different it is for quilts though, since you want to end up with a flat piece instead of something like a sleeve! I've been wanting to try your ruler!!

AnnaPK said...

I mostly sew clothes so I have sewn lots of curves. Not all that well yet, but I have done them. ;)

I've never used curves before but I'm looking forward to starting!

Laura said...

Wow, I didn't even know such a thing existed. I have done curves, but it was tough and time consuming. I'm guessing a tool would be very helpful!

Anonymous said...

I took a class for piecing curves and found it to be really fun. Surprised me! Thanks for the opportunity to win.

Jill said...

This ruler looks fabulous, I've heard great things about it! I also design and make rulers and templates for quilters. I'd love to add this to my collection. Love your patterns!

Audrey said...

I'm scared of curved piecing on its own, but I'd love to try it with your ruler and patterns since it seems pretty straightforward the way you explain it!

Lindsay said...

I have never sewed a curve before. I am a little intimidated to be honest.

Beginners Luck Quilter said...

JustPam said...

Yes I have sewn curves in both clothes construction and quilts.

Katrin said...

I try to stay away from curves so far, maybe the ruler helps. Thanks!

JoyceLM said...

Back a long time ago, when I sewed most of my clothes, I sewed curves when I set-in sleeves. But I haven't tried making curved quilt blocks yet. Would love to win the ruler & your great patterns. Thanks.

Angie said...

I'm working on a double wedding ring. Other than that, I haven't done any curves.

I've only sewed curves on 4 drunkards path blocks. I have been seeing some of your patterns and would love to try some of them.

Strawberry Patch said...

I have been wanting to try this since my friend Annabella blogged all about it.

Lindsay said...

I've never sewed curves and I'm kind of scared to! lol. I noticed some people said they already have a ruler-if they want to split the prize, I'd be happy to just have the ruler, although patterns are sure fun too :)

Julia Gabriel said...

I have never sewed curves before, but am up to the challenge.

Lisa said...

I've sewn curves in drunkards path blocks. I'd love this tool.

mandalei said...

I sewed a Rob Peter/Pay Paul recently, and then quilted it on my longarm for my first quilt. ouch. Everyone who quilts needs the experience of quilting their quilt just once on a longarm to teach them the need for perfect piecing. Very humbling!

Emily said...

Your patterns are absolutely gorgeous, I'd love a chance to win! Thanks!

Dresden Quilter said...

Yes, I have sewed curves before. It was easier than I thought it would be. Thanks for the giveaway.

VickiT said...

Sincr you asked (and I'm a good girl and read your post so hopefully I'll get extra credit points haha) No, I have never sewn curves before. They scare me because I have read so many horror stories about how horrible it is to make them. I really shouldn't 'listen' to what I read but I do sometimes and curves is one of those times. I've seen so many of the tutorials using your ruler and think this sounds like the perfect tool to have for sure. I LOVE the quilts you've created. They are very beautiful.

Thank you for the chance to win one of your rulers.

This looks like a very nice ruler- I have done a few curve quilts - a double wedding ring and a wheel of mystery quilt. As well I have done a curved pinwheel like pattern that I used a template to make the curved pieces.

I haven't really sewn curves before, and they are on my to-do list for this year. I have picked up and put back curve rulers like this one several times in the past few months -- I keep deciding to spend my money on fabric instead. But I really "need" (read "want") this ruler! Thank you for the chance to win it, and your patterns!

Jodi said...

I have never done curves in a quilt block but given I am currently sewing my first block ever that is no surprise. I have sewed curves making childrens toys and bags so I guess it will be similarly challenging.

Crafty Tokyo Mama said...

I made a drunkards path quilt last year, following the Needle and Spatula quilt along. That was my first introduction to sewing curves and amazingly, I did it! Love your curvy patterns and that ruler is fantastic. No more dealing with templates! Thanks for the chance to win and keep up the great work.

Kimberly F said...

I have sewn curves before, but not terribly successfully! I get a little better every time, though, so Mom was right, practice makes perfect!
