Inspired by the iconic dome of the Taj Mahal, this versatile tool is designed by machine quilting author and teacher Angela Walters to help you stitch flawless, curvy pointed arcs. It essentially does double duty, allowing you to quilt along the outside edge for pointed arches and overlapping arcs, or quilt inside the cutout for leafy allover designs and floral motifs.

Free-handing pointed arches and symmetrical leaves can be incredibly tedious, but this tool turns complex, continuous curves into a breeze. Quilters love that by simply rotating the tool or alternating between the inside and outside edges, they can generate an endless variety of secondary patterns and floral mandalas. Additionally, the non-slip grip drastically reduces hand strain, allowing quilters to relax their shoulders and focus on the beautiful designs they are creating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFloral \u0026amp; Leaf Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e Anyone wanting to stitch uniform leaves in narrow borders or allover leafy filler designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePointed Arc Designs:\u003c\/b\u003e The ultimate tool for overlapping arches, scalloped borders, and complex geometric motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDomestic Machine Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e The palm-sized profile effortlessly maneuvers under the limited harp space of standard home sewing machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLongarm Quilters:\u003c\/b\u003e The sturdy 1\/4-inch acrylic profile glides perfectly along longarm hopping feet without the risk of slipping under the needle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003eCreative Grids® Machine Quilting Tool Taj (CGRQTA5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eStep-by-step written instructions and design layout ideas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/b\u003e Creative Grids®\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/b\u003e Angela Walters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e CGRQTA5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-3\/4 inches x 4 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThickness:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Clear High-Grade Acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMade in:\u003c\/b\u003e USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDo I need a specific presser foot to use the Taj ruler?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes.
