Designed for free-motion quilting on domestic and longarm machines, it enables versatile patterns like clamshells, orange peels, and floral motifs with precision and ease. Compact and user-friendly, Shelly ensures stable, accurate quilting without fabric slipping, making it a must-have for modern quilting professionals. ## Description Designed by machine quilting teacher and author, Angela Walters, Shelly is perfect for quilting clamshells and orange peels and so much more. Creative Grids Shelly is your new quilting best friend! You can quilt the same sized Clamshell design from either side of the ruler. That means you don't have to rotate the quilt and you can quilt from any side of your quilting foot. Or give Clamshell a modern update by flipping it around to create Orange Peel. Or rotate to create beautiful flower motifs. Creative Grids Grip ensures the tool doesn't slip while quilting. Black and white dashed guide lines are visible on all fabric colors. Made with 1/4in thick high-grade acrylic that is perfect for both longarm and home sewing machines. Total Size - 4-1/2” x 5-1/4”. Review: Great buy - Good quality. Easy to use. Review: 3.5 inch diameter circles - Works as advertised. I couldn't find the actual dimensions of the STITCHED line in the product description. If you are using this to sew a half or full circle, the diameter of the sewn circle would be 3.5 inches. Unfortunately it wasn't the perfect size for my project, but if you need to sew half circles that size it would be a great tool for the job. ## Features - Made in the USA with high quality acrylic and precision measurements ensuring accuracy for your quilting, sewing, patchwork, and crafting projects. - Creative Grids exclusive non-slip grip allows you to easily slide the quilting tool over the fabric until pressure is applied. Then, the grip holds the quilting tool in place, eliminating slipping while you quilt. - Black and White dashed guide lines are visible on all fabric colors - Easy to use. Simply install a ruler foot on your machine and quilt along your chosen edge of the template for endless design possibilities. - Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand so it’s easy to control. - Use Shelly to quilt clamshell designs from either side of the tool. Also great for orange peels, flower motifs, arcs, and leaves. - Create all-over designs as well as block designs and borders. - Needle stops ensure perfect starting and stopping points when stitching out designs.
