Tracey Browning's No-Frills™ Templates and RulersNo-Frills™ Circle Templates
The circle templates come in many different sizes to suit everyone! All circles come with a pin hole pierced in the center of the template. This is to assist in placing your circles on the quilt top. As an addition to this you can also score centering lines using a sharp object and your quilter's ruler for placement.
No-Frills™ Oval Acrylic Rulers
Great for use with double wedding ring quilts, wholecloth and also for spines of feathers to flow around the borders of your quilts. They can also be used to make a lovely scalloped edge to your quilt tops.
No-Frills™ Skinny Oval Acrylic Rulers
A selection of 5 different sizes of Skinny Ovals for you to be creative with. The width is half of the length of these ovals (ie: 6" skinny oval is 6" x 3").
No-Frills™ Baptist Fan 135deg Template
The baptist fan template comes in an 8" size. The 135deg template is convenient for those with smaller machines that can't fit the large circles between the needle & the machine. This enables shortarmers to still do up to a 8" diameter arc on their machines. For some hints, tips and techniques for using the Baptist Fan template & the circle rulers for Baptist Fan Pattern on your quilt tops, please visit the designer's site.
No-Frills™ Heart Templates
The heart templates come in 6 different sizes. They have been designed so that the actual template itself fits inside the size square that it is. ie: a 6" heart fits exactly to the edge of a 6" square. If you wanted a heart that once quilted sat nicely inside a 6" square then you would probably use the 4" heart template. All templates are 1/4" thick acrylic. They come with a protective paper or plastic coating that just peels off leaving no residue. The picture shows one of the hearts with its protective covering still on.
No-Frills™ Continuous Curve Tri-Arc Rulers
Continuous Curve Tri-Arcs were designed after receiving requests from longarmers who wanted to be able to quilt arcs in pieced blocks and who didn't like the inaccuracy of freehand CC. By using these templates you are able to quilt both the short and long side of half square triangles without having to work with large, awkward circles or having to use multiple templates. The majority of pieced blocks are made from simple squares and half square triangles, so now you will be able to provide a traditional look of quilting without having to mark the top.
No-Frills™ Serpentine Rulers
The serpentine rulers are based on a wave that will intersect the seam junctions on 4" & 1 1/2" blocks and the 3" & 2" blocks. It assists in a perfect continuous curve on double Irish chain blocks as well as any others continuous curve through these size blocks. Also wonderful to mark spines of feathers to go around corners or some of the wonderful freehand designs with leaves and loops. etc.
No-Frills™ Swag Rulers
The swag rulers come in 2 sizes! You can now make beautiful swags quickly and effortlessly in approx 5" & 8" sizes with multiple arcs. These rulers are machine specific so please make sure you let us know what type of machine you have.
No-Frills™ Swirls Ruler
The new swirls ruler will give those graceful curves that we love for the spines of feathers and vines. Two different sizes of swirls will ensure you have the right curve for each occasion.
No-Frills™ 90 Degree Ruler
The 'legs' are 2" wide and this ruler is very handy to sew straight lines in borders, crosshatching blocks and doing Vs in borders and sashings.
No-Frills™ Appliqué & Ditch guide
This guide has been made to slip over the shaft of your foot and then surround your foot for total control. Use both hands on the ruler either side of the foot for the best control, but can be used with one hand on the ruler and one hand on your machine's handle. The straight edges are perfect for ditch stitching and 1/4" outlining and any small straight line work! These rulers are machine specific so please ensure you indicate what brand of machine you have.
No-Frills™ Shells Ruler
The shells ruler has a multitude of uses! Use it as a frame in a border for floral designs or to create a doubled clamshell design.
No-Frills™ Double Wedding Ring Arc set
This set of rulers have been designed to assist in ditch stitching those double wedding ring quilts that we all love!! The largest arc will suit an 18" diameter 'ring' with various sizes down to 6" diameter 'ring'. There is a split down one end to enable you to separate the two sides of these templates so that you can use the concave curve as well as the convex curve. You will need to gently twist the template to slip over the shaft of your machine foot to get on the inside of the templates. PLEASE be gentle with the smallest template as the flex is not as easy as the larger ones. If you happen to break one of these then 'Super Glue' is a wonderful thing!! You will still have the 'arc' to stitch even if you do happen to break one, BUT think outside the square with these and consider some other uses for them as well. They will make great petal/leaf patterns. Also a much larger circle curve to use to make swags in borders, long smooth spines for feathers and vines, etc.
No-Frills™ Tri Ruler
This 14" ruler is just wonderful for diagonal crosshatching! The weight of the ruler itself gives it stability without any pressure from yourself, and performs really well in common situations.
No-Frills™ Nested Scallop Set
These templates will allow you to make a perfect scalloped circle to fill in a block quickly and creatively. Use your imagination and build on the designs!
