I just posted a picture to the APQS forum.

I believe they have some kind of arc similar to this. Your tutorial will come in handy, so thanks very much for sharing. Do you do all your long-arm 'free-hand,' as in it's not computerized? It's amazing work. I rent a long-arm and always choose the computerized version, but am working up my nerve to try some intricate, more hands-on quilting soon. I just need the right quilt for it. I enjoy all your posts.<br />Vonn Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03698521199581124098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275460982299302514.post-85467954586941342052015-07-25T17:09:53.347-05:002015-07-25T17:09:53.347-05:00Fabulous border treatment.

Also the outside curve can represent a circle 1" larger than the inside arc of that ruler so the outside curve is not the same as the inside curve. So what I would suggest you do is mark the lines in a few zig zags areas to get a feel for how to hold and use the ruler you have. I usually do a 1" space so that any variation is not that noticeable.Kathy Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751927755249583787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275460982299302514.post-19554007027226074552015-06-02T14:45:36.786-05:002015-06-02T14:45:36.786-05:00I'm trying to quilt this border on a quilt, bu...I'm trying to quilt this border on a quilt, but I'm having trouble and I'm hoping you can help me. I've stitched out my zig-zags and am trying to fill them in. I get the stitching path, but I don't know how to line up my ruler. I'm using the 1/2" line (to get a 3/4" spacing) but the curve line on the ruler doesn't match the curve of the zig-zag. Am I totally crazy? I thought of lining up the 1/2" line with the beginning and ending of the stitching, but that doesn't seem to work!leslieemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736106002991698974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275460982299302514.post-34250385137749067702015-03-26T00:13:30.006-05:002015-03-26T00:13:30.006-05:00Just found this blog on the APQS website!

Kind of on the small side, but it's start when you don't know what you're doing! I love her rulers and will be buying more, and a bigger boomerang is now on my list to repeat this nice border design!Judy MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060949047186615927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275460982299302514.post-20220378656805170252013-08-17T09:01:24.306-05:002013-08-17T09:01:24.306-05:00Shirley, I usually do this on 5" to 6" b...Shirley, I usually do this on 5" to 6" borders and use my 15" Boomerang but the 12" would probably be good too.

What size boomerang ruler would you recommend ? I have her first boomerang ruler which is a little short for a 4.5" border. I am quilting this on a community quilt that has a 4.5" border. So far, it looks nice. Your instructions are very easy to understand. Thank you for sharing this nice border pattern.
