The Double Wedding Ring is one of the most iconic, visually stunning heirloom designs in quilting history, but its interlocking curves are notoriously intimidating to cut and piece. The Creative Grids Double Wedding Ring Template Set (CGRDWR) removes the anxiety from this classic pattern. This premium 4-piece acrylic ruler system is engineered to cut every single component—the center, the melon arcs, and the corner pieces—with engineering level accuracy. By using smart sub-cuts and clever alignment marks, it turns a master-level quilting challenge into a highly approachable, stress-free project.
Key Features
-
Exclusive Non-Slip Grip Texture: Features the signature Creative Grids embedded gripper dots on the underside of all four templates, anchoring your fabric firmly under your rotary cutter to eliminate slips and skipped cuts on tricky curves.
-
Complete 4-Piece System: Contains every customized shape required to complete a traditional Double Wedding Ring layout, ensuring flawless geometric compatibility between every single interlocking unit.
-
Pre-Cut Notch Indicators: Integrated smart notches eliminate the guesswork of aligning curved edges. Instead of pinning blindly, simply match the notches to pin and sew smooth, pucker-free curves.
-
Strip-Pieced Friendly Markings: Specifically engineered to work with strip-pieced fabric units, allowing you to quickly cut segmented arc segments for a scrappy or structured look.
-
High-Contrast Sightlines: Bold black and white markings guarantee clear visibility across dark batiks, bright modern prints, and neutral backgrounds alike.
Why Quilters Love This Tool Set
Cutting curved quilt components with traditional paper or flimsy plastic templates leads to mismatched edges, uneven seams, and distorted blocks. The CGRDWR set changes the game by stabilizing your fabric while you cut. Because each piece fits together precisely like a puzzle, your curved piecing matches up effortlessly on the sewing machine. The smart registration notches dramatically reduce the number of pins needed, saving hours of assembly time and ensuring flat, crisp quilt tops.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do the notches help with sewing the curves?
Sewing curves requires balancing opposing fabric edges. The built-in notches mark the exact center and alignment points of the interlocking shapes. By matching these physical notches together before sewing, you ensure the fabric feeds evenly through your machine without bunching.
-
Can I use a standard rotary cutter with these curved templates?
Yes. A standard 45mm rotary cutter works beautifully along the smooth, laser-cut acrylic edges. For tighter interior curves, some quilters prefer a 28mm rotary cutter for enhanced control.
-
Is this set suitable for making scrappy wedding ring quilts?
Absolutely. The templates are designed with specific markings so you can sew fabric strips together first, and then use the arc template to cut out perfectly curved, multi-colored segmented arches.
