Product Overview

The Creative Grids Shorty Machine Quilting Tool, designed by expert quilter Angela Walters, is the go‑to ruler for quilting in small areas where precision matters. Shorty’s compact size makes it perfect for stitch‑in‑the‑ditch, echo quilting, crosshatching, border work and tight curves, especially on domestic machines where space is limited.

Shorty features Creative Grids’ exclusive non‑slip grip, which keeps the ruler firmly in place against the fabric while quilting, yet allows smooth repositioning as you move along your design. High‑contrast black‑and‑white markings ensure visibility on all fabric colours and the ruler’s ergonomic shape makes it easy to hold and control.

Shorty is ideal for ruler‑work beginners, quilters working on smaller blocks and anyone who wants a reliable straight‑edge tool that also handles gentle curves. The ruler includes fully illustrated instructions and a QR‑code video tutorial from Angela Walters, demonstrating multiple ways to use Shorty effectively.

  • Perfect for tight spaces - ideal for domestic machines
  • Straight lines & gentle curves - versatile for blocks and borders
  • Stitch‑in‑the‑ditch - crisp, accurate lines
  • Designed by Angela Walters - expert ruler‑work guidance
  • Non‑slip grip - stable, confident quilting
