westalee templates?
Hello-
I am very new to machine quilting. well, actually, I am just not good at it and therefore have no incentive to keep trying <g>...there is a sewing machine store about an hour from me that is having an educator from westalee giving a class on Friday using their templates.
does anyone have any insights? thank you!

Definitely take the class. That said, the only way to improve is to keep practicing. I do a lot of ruler work using the Westalee templates and they are wonderful, but like all Fmq there is a learning curve. I guess the question is what is it that you would like to improve in your quilting? If you are looking to do smooth curves and lines without wobbles, the the rulers will be a good choice. If you want to be able to spend less time marking your quilts, then the rulers will be helpful for that as well.

My LQS has free classes. The templates are costly as has been said. after a little practice you will get good results. Make sure you know which foot to buy, for high or low shank. If you have a Bernina you will need to buy their adapter.
