Dimensional Diamonds - Simple to Construct with a Double Diamond Ruler
When it comes to quilting notions there is an endless choice of cutting tools,threads, rulers, templates, marking pens, etc. that a quilter could use. At times it may seem tricky to make up one’s mind about what materials to pick and where to start when it comes to producing an unique quilted item. A good place to start is with a quilting ruler called the Double Diamond Ruler.
You can add a diamond-shaped embellishment to any project when you utilize a Double Diamond Ruler. Creating a diamond pattern was quite cumbersome to accomplish before the introduction of the Double Diamond Ruler. In the past the process required tracing a design onto fusible interfacing, pressing it onto the material and then snipping the drawn lines with scissors. Talk about time consuming! The Double Diamond Ruler ended all that.
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 eye-catching eyeglass holder or even a shoulder strap for your handbag by utilizing the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a table topper, wall hanging or even table runner using the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.
Once you have determined what sized Double Diamond Ruler will work best for your project you’ll want to select 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 utilize large prints. Nonetheless, small prints can result in an intersting effect.
