Dimensional Diamonds – Simple to Create with the Double Diamond Ruler

When it comes to quilting notions there is an endless selection of marking pens, cutting tools, threads, rulers, templates, etc. that a quilter could use. As the time to create a new quilted item gets close it may appear difficult to know which materials to select and where to begin. A new quilting ruler called the Double Diamond Ruler is a good place to begin.

The Double Diamond Ruler provides a marvelous way for you to add a diamond-shaped ornamentation to any design. Producing a diamond pattern was rather cumbersome to accomplish prior to the invention of the Double Diamond Ruler. In the past you would have had to draw a design onto fusible interfacing, press it onto the fabric and then clip the drawn lines with a pair of scissors. Talk about time consuming! Thanks to the Double Diamond Ruler that is no longer necessary.

The Double Diamond Ruler is available in two sizes making it possible for you to make both 1 1/2″ or 3 1/2″ wide diamonds. Create an attention-getting eyeglass case or even a purse strap using the 1 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler. Add distinctive, dimensional diamonds to a table runner, table topper or even wall hanging utilizing the 3 1/2″ Double Diamond Ruler.

Once you’ve decided which size Double Diamond Ruler will work best for your project you’ll want to pick out 3 quality fabrics to work with: a contrast fabric, background fabric and main fabric. Solid color fabrics work best but small prints can produce an interesting effect too. Avoid large prints because they won’t show the diamonds as well.

In addition to ideas, there are patterns, kits and even an instructional video to help you get started. Order your Double Diamond Ruler today and you will be taking the first step towards making a true masterpiece.
