Embodiments of the present invention include a quilting ruler to facilitate home embroidery machine user's “quilting-in-the hoop” capabilities. This includes a thin, generally polygonal ruler with apertures for center marking, cross-hair marking, and size marking, as well as perimeters for edge markings to delineate fabric areas for quilting-in-the-hoop. The invention also includes a quilting ruler system with a plurality of such rulers of various dimensions and classes. Finally the invention includes a method of using the quilting rulers to map and extend quilting designs across a fabric area by selecting a quilting ruler, placing it on a fabric at a first fabric location, marking the fabric at the first fabric location through apertures, marking the fabric around the perimeter of the ruler, marking the dimension of the perimeter on the fabric, quilting at the first fabric location, and repeating these steps.

A quilt marking assembly includes a measuring tape which has graduated indicia printed thereon to measure distance along a blanket when the measuring tape is stretched along the blanket. A plurality of pins is provided and each of the pins is insertable into a quilting frame upon which the blanket is positioned to mark a preferred location on the blanket. The pins are positionable such that the pins are evenly spaced along a distance measured by the measuring tape. A roll of yarn is dividable into a plurality of lengths of the yarn. Each of the lengths of yarn is stretchable between a respective pair of pins to define a grid on the blanket. A marker is provided to mark the blanket at each of a plurality of intersections of the grid defined by the lengths of yarn for quilting the blanket.

A custom piece-together quilt template incorporates first and second primary template sectors. Each template sector has an outer edge, converging side edges, a sector point at a convergence of said side edges, and a planar body. The planar body of each template sector defines at least one interior arc-shaped cutout. Complementary tabs and sockets are located along respective side edges of the first and second template sectors and function to temporarily join the template sectors together when using the quilt template.

The present invention teaches a tear away quilting template system comprising a row template and at least one corner template. The row template and at least one corner template each feature a solid line pattern and a dashed line pattern. The dashed line pattern is designed to match and correspond with portions of the solid line pattern.
