Quilters Select Quilting Tools at Linda's Electric Quilters
Quilters Select is RNK Distributing's flagship precision tool line — a comprehensive system of rulers, rotary blades, and accessories designed to work together for maximum accuracy in quilt cutting, pressing, and design. Linda's carries the full Quilters Select range. The QS thread lines are covered in the Quilters Select thread guide, the software in the quilting software guide, and blade fundamentals in the rotary cutters guide.
Machine Quilt Rulers
Quilters Select Machine Quilt Rulers are designed specifically for use directly on the longarm or home machine — the low-profile, non-slip construction prevents the ruler from shifting during guided machine quilting. Available in two sizes:
- 6"x1" Machine Quilt Ruler — the standard narrow ruler for straight-line quilting and border work at the machine
- 3"x1.5" Machine Quilt Ruler — the compact version for tighter spacing and more precise machine-guided stitching
PRO Titanium Rotary Blades
Quilters Select PRO Titanium replacement blades provide extended cutting life through titanium coating — significantly outlasting standard stainless blades under the same cutting conditions. Available for both 45mm and 60mm rotary cutters, in single-pack and 3-packs for studio use.
Wool Press and Cut Mat
The Quilters Select 14"x14" Wool Press and Cut Mat combines a premium wool pressing surface with a self-healing cutting surface — press seams directly on the mat, then flip or rotate to cut on the same surface. Eliminates the need to move fabric between two different tools.
Design N Quilt Software
Quilters Select's dedicated quilt design software — plan quilt layouts, test colour combinations, and design custom patterns that align with the Quilters Select ruler and tool system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ruler work on a longarm?
Guided quilting — the machine's hopping foot rides against a thick acrylic ruler to stitch dead-straight lines and precise curves freehand systems can't hold. It's the technique behind crosshatching, channel borders, and modern straight-line texture, and it requires machine-rated rulers like these.
Why can't I use a cutting ruler at the machine?
Thickness — standard cutting rulers are too thin, letting the hopping foot climb over the edge and strike the needle. Machine quilt rulers are milled thicker specifically so the foot rides against them safely; the two ruler families are not interchangeable.
What's the case for a tool system over mixed brands?
Designed-together consistency — QS rulers, blades, mats, and software share measurement conventions and non-slip surfaces, so accuracy habits transfer across the whole bench. Mixed-brand kits work; systems remove the small friction between tools.
