Sewing and quilting is an easy craft to learn if you want to just know the basics (how to sew a zipper, how to sew a pillow, etc). But if you really want to advance your skills, you need the right tools.

Thanks to our friends at Simplicity, they have a wonderful line of sewing and quilting tools that will help you kick your quitling and sewing up a notch. Check out some of our favorite tools below in this Quilt Ruler Kit.

The Quilt Ruler Kit includes:

• EZ Quilting Tools Easy Scallop Tool: This easy Scallop quilting template makes scalloped borders from 4" to 12". Use this tool to easily make semicircles.
• EZ Quilting Tools Double Wedding Ring Solid Arc Tool:  This quilting template was designed by Darlene Zimmerman and is used to trim double wedding ring or pickle dish patterns to the correct size.
• EZ Quilting Tools Double Wedding Ring: Also designed by Darlene Zimmerman, this tool easily creates double wedding ring patterns from strips and squares of fabric using these 3 tools and instructions.
• EZ Quilting Tools Easy Angle II Acrylic Tool 10-1/2": This easy-to-use quilting template cuts triangles, squares and attic windows from one strip of fabric using 10-1/2" easy angle. Cut half triangles from 2" to 10".
• EZ Quilting Seam Press: This small plastic tool measures about 6" with a beveled end. It's commonly used when you need a quick press but don't have (or need to use) an iron.

• EZ Quilting Leftie-Rightie Square: 12.5" x 12.5" Square template is marked for right and left handed cutters, making it even easier to measure and cut quilt designs. Includes a built in 1/4" seam allowance for cutting strips, blocks, borders, and squares from fabric.
