Ask Adele Scott Returns! Ruler Work New and Review

Let's Use that Westalee Sampler Set! asds@adelescott.com

Instructor – Adele Scott

This is a “New or Review” class – you’ll work at your own level, using the versatile

Westalee Sampler Set [or other rulers discussed with Adele] – learn the basics or

sharpen your skills to plan and create and stitch a beautiful topper, combining rulers from

the Sampler Set, try the SashLee straight ruler plus the new Bloom template. You'll learn

about creating combined designs, how to audition and decide placement, and joining

quilted sections with the easy and useful SashLee method. Note: Less experienced

quilters might want to work on sample “sandwiches” first, more experienced quilters can

work on their own project after discussing it with Adele.

Each block option teaches a lesson – Using your ruler foot to “push” your ruler to its next

position, outlining a shape with the 12” arc or Sashlee ruler, enlarging a design by rotating

template to extend corners, using the spacing gauge for exact positioning and filling

corners with complimentary designs.

You will need to know how to set up for ruler-work, [taking my Sampler Set – New or

Review Class is very helpful or using the machine set-up checklist ahead of class will

help] but this class is good for all levels. More advanced students can create more

complicated blocks with background fill or work on their own smaller or in sections

project.

NOTE: Supplies are the same as the “Westalee Sampler Set Workshop” plus the new

Bloom template for those with older sets, the optional SashLee long template and I

recommend the 12.5” 8pt Cross Hair but the smaller version can also work except for

marking the outside parameter.
