Patchwork Quilters with Arthritis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Patchwork Quilters with Arthritis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
by:Kaye Rue
I am a novice quilter, I was almost ready to give up quilting, even though I enjoyed it so much, because I was becoming so annoyed with myself. It seemed every 2nd cut I made on my fabric was crooked, because I couldn t keep the ruler perfectly still.
One day recently, my husband was sitting across from me whilst I attempted to make a cut on a piece of expensive fabric. I d only purchased just enough for what I was doing. The ruler slipped, again. Seeing my expression, and being thoughtful, he asked me that fateful question Surely there s something you can buy to keep the ruler from slipping? . When I told him I had searched high and low with no success apart from a little plastic thing with suction cups about as useful as fingernails, he informed me he would go and make me something. Off he went, to the shed . Several days later he came in with the prototype of the RuleSteady. I ve never looked back. I ve not wasted a single piece of fabric through ruler slippage since. And I Never make a cut without it. We have also found that the rulesteady is of great benefit to those quilters with Arthritis or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
