Quilting with rulers. I'm hopeless at free motion quilting so I thought I'd try rulers. They came with instructions to make a case to keep them in which was a sampler of the templates. I'm not sure if I'll ever be happy with my efforts!
For my next experiment, I added a Teflon baking sheet to the bed of my machine and some little bits of shelf liner under the rulers. I only did straight lines this time!
My main problem now is that I stand up to sew so I'm only comfortable when I'm sewing towards myself. (I can't see what I'm doing otherwise!) This means I'm constantly turning the work which wouldn't be possible on a quilt.
Does anyone have any experiences to share?
Practice makes perfect so they say and you're already off to a great start, so if I was you, I'd just keep practising.

I wonder if a well positioned mirror would help you see without turning. I know it would mess up my brain -- possibly beyond recovery -- to see the work via a mirror.
I tried to upload the link but that gives an error, it is on the Benina blog, posted jan 19, rhttps://weallsew.com/bernina-rulerwork-quilt-along-part-1/
I looked if Husqvarna has a ruler foot as well but can't find any.
I think you are doing well, but have no solution for the turning / working backwards problem. Can you place your machine higher? Or is that a silly question. I like your even length stitches!
Thanks for the link - I may pick up some tips, but I suspect it will just make me want circle rulers!
I think all rulers are made by Westerlee or Parrs. I've been told that the Janome ones are the former. The foot came with an upgrade to my machine but I've been waiting quite a while for the rulers to appear in England.
if you are looking for "training" angela wolters and gina perkes are a good start and lots of others on you tube if you search for rulerwork.
silianquilt in uk, eingebrannt in germany and westerly design can help you which foot may work on your machine
