Using the new quilting rulers?
Has anyone tried these yet? Craftsy is offering a class on these.
I have watched some videos on this process and looks very
interesting. Just would like to know those that have them,
what they think of them.

I visit Amy's site www.freemotionquiltingadventures.blogspot.com/ I notice she is offering classes on Craftsy, is it her class you are considering? She is good and a member of QB.

I have used it a little bit with a straight-line ruler. Just be aware that these are NOT the thin cutting rulers. These are 1/4" thick rulers you need to keep the hopping foot to jump the ruler edge. With the thin ones you could jump the ruler and bust your needle.
My machine has a large throat space and table so working with rulers is doable. It does take patience and practice to hold the ruler steady and move the quilt WITH the ruler.

I have done this. You should have a ruler foot. Westalee make them for different machines. I have one for my Viking. The whole process is neat. You can watch lots of YouTube videos if you do a search for Westalee.
