Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Handi Quilter Ripple Wave Ruler work with my non-Handi Quilter longarm machine?

Yes. The Ripple Wave Ruler is compatible with any brand of longarm quilting machine. You will need a ruler base and a ruler foot designed for your specific machine to use it safely and effectively. Handi Quilter recommends pairing this ruler with the HQ Ruler Base and HQ Sure Foot if you are using a Handi Quilter machine.

What is the difference between the Ripple Wave Ruler and the former Wave B ruler?

They are the same ruler. Handi Quilter rebranded the Wave B as the Ripple Wave Ruler. The profile, dimensions, and construction are identical.

What accessories do I need to use this ruler?

To use any longarm ruler safely, you need a ruler base (or extended table) to stabilize the ruler and a ruler foot to guide the machine along the ruler's edge. For Handi Quilter machines, the HQ Ruler Base and HQ Sure Foot are the recommended accessories. These are sold separately.

What warranty does the Handi Quilter Ripple Wave Ruler come with?

Handi Quilter backs this ruler with a 10-year casting warranty, 5-year mechanical warranty, and 5-year electrical warranty, plus free parts and labor for the first 90 days. OSP Machines is an authorized Handi Quilter dealer and provides free support for the life of your purchase.

Is this ruler a good choice for a beginner longarm quilter?

The Ripple Wave Ruler is best suited for quilters who are comfortable with the basics of longarm ruler work. If you are new to using rulers on a longarm, we recommend starting with a ruler base and a simpler straight-edge or gentle curve ruler to get a feel for the technique before working with more complex wave profiles.
