Amanda Murphy “Every Daisy” 4-Piece Quilting Ruler Set
Create beautifully repeatable floral quilting with the Good Measure Every Daisy ruler set by Amanda Murphy . The four nested templates guide your ruler foot around a softly rounded daisy shape, giving you plenty of options for individual motifs, concentric echoes, connected flowers and decorative borders.
Made in the longarm thickness of 1/4 inch (approximately 6 mm) , these clear acrylic templates feature a non-slip backing and easy-to-see markings in two colours. Their broad surfaces provide a practical holding area while you guide the ruler, helping you maintain control and see the quilt beneath.
Why Quilters Choose the Every Daisy Set
- Four graduated daisy templates: Choose a scale to suit blocks, borders, feature areas and larger open spaces.
- Nested design: Each daisy fits inside the next, making it easy to plan concentric and echoed motifs.
- Multiple layout possibilities: Quilt a single flower, repeat the motif, connect daisies into a border or combine sizes in a medallion-style arrangement.
- Non-slip backing: Helps the template stay in position while being guided alongside the ruler foot.
- Clear two-colour markings: Designed to make alignment and placement easier to see on a variety of fabrics.
- Generous holding area: Provides room to support and reposition the ruler as you stitch around the design.
Design Possibilities
Think of Every Daisy as a rounded clamshell motif arranged in a complete circle. Depending on how the templates are positioned and repeated, the set can be used for:
- Single daisy motifs within quilt blocks
- Nested or echoed daisies
- Floral medallions and focal quilting
- Repeated daisy borders
- Connected floral rows
- Custom quilting around appliqué or pieced features
- Coordinating motifs in modern, traditional and wholecloth quilts
The largest template quilts a daisy approximately 7 inches (17.8 cm) across . The smallest produces a design slightly under 3 inches (7.6 cm) across . Published measurements describe the resulting quilted designs rather than necessarily representing the full outside dimensions of each acrylic template.

Machine and Ruler-Foot Compatibility
Please check your ruler foot and machine before purchasing. Every Daisy is a 1/4-inch or approximately 6 mm template. Your machine must support ruler-guided free-motion quilting, and the installed ruler foot must have enough height and clearance to work safely with this thickness.
Using Every Daisy on a Domestic Sewing Machine
A domestic sewing machine can only use this set when it is equipped with a suitable ruler-work foot and the machine manufacturer supports ruler work on that model. Do not assume compatibility from the machine’s shank description alone: some domestic-machine setups require thinner templates.
BERNINA identifies Adjustable Ruler Foot #72 and #72S for ruler work on compatible domestic machines. Compatibility still depends on the exact machine model and setup, so check the relevant accessory chart or contact Two Petals before ordering.
Using Every Daisy on a Longarm or Sit-Down Quilting Machine
The set is made in longarm thickness and may be used with longarm, frame or sit-down quilting systems that accept 1/4-inch templates. BERNINA documents Ruler Foot #96 for Q Series ruler work, with #72 and #72S also used in supported Q Series configurations. Frame quilting may additionally require a stable ruler base or other machine-specific accessories.
For other brands, confirm the required ruler thickness and ruler-foot type with the machine manufacturer. Two Petals can help with compatibility questions; please have your machine’s full brand and model number ready. You can also browse the range of BERNINA accessories .
What You Will Need for Ruler Work
- A sewing or quilting machine approved for ruler-guided free-motion quilting
- A compatible ruler foot that accepts 1/4-inch or 6 mm templates
- The appropriate ruler base, extension table or level work surface for your machine setup
- A prepared quilt sandwich and suitable quilting thread
- Feed dogs lowered or managed according to your machine’s ruler-work instructions
Ruler work is normally performed with a straight stitch while the quilt or machine head is moved freely. Always follow the machine and ruler-foot instructions, and make sure the template cannot slide over or underneath the foot.
Buying Summary
The Every Daisy set is a versatile choice for quilters who enjoy floral ruler work and want several coordinated motif sizes in one package. Its nested shapes are particularly useful when you want to echo a design without trying to reposition a single template by eye. It is best suited to an established ruler-work setup that accepts thicker 1/4-inch templates.
Choose the Amanda Murphy Every Daisy set for repeatable flowers, echoed focal motifs and decorative daisy borders, with four coordinated sizes ready to mix across your quilt.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Amanda Murphy Every Daisy set?
The product contains four graduated, daisy-shaped Good Measure quilting rulers. The shapes nest inside one another.
What size daisies does the set quilt?
The smallest template produces a quilted daisy slightly under 3 inches across, while the largest produces a design approximately 7 inches across. The other two templates provide intermediate design sizes, but individual published measurements for those two sizes have not been confirmed.
Can I use Every Daisy on a normal domestic sewing machine?
Possibly, but only if the machine supports ruler work and has a compatible ruler foot that accepts a 1/4-inch or 6 mm template. Some domestic-machine ruler feet require thinner templates, so check your model before purchasing.
Will Every Daisy work with my BERNINA sewing machine?
Many compatible BERNINA domestic machines can perform ruler work with Adjustable Ruler Foot #72 or #72S. BERNINA Q Series machines commonly use Ruler Foot #96, with other supported configurations also available. Compatibility should be checked against your exact machine model rather than assumed for every BERNINA.
Is this the low-shank version of Every Daisy?
No. This listing is for the thicker 1/4-inch or approximately 6 mm longarm version. If your ruler foot specifies a thin or low-shank template, do not use this set unless the machine or foot manufacturer confirms that 6 mm rulers are suitable.
Do I need a special foot?
Yes. A proper ruler-work foot is required. Its raised outer edge keeps the acrylic template from moving beneath or above the foot while stitching. A standard free-motion or darning foot should not be assumed to be suitable.
How far will the stitches sit from the template edge?
With a common ruler foot whose outer edge is 1/4 inch from the needle, the stitched line follows approximately 1/4 inch away from the template edge. Check your own ruler foot, as its geometry determines the final offset.
Can the four rulers be used to make echoed daisies?
Yes. The graduated templates nest together, allowing progressively larger or smaller daisy outlines to be placed around the same centre point.
Can I use these templates for borders?
Yes. Repeating or overlapping the daisy motif can create floral borders and connected rows. Marking reference points before quilting can help maintain consistent spacing.
Do I lower the feed dogs when using the rulers?
Ruler work is a free-motion quilting technique, so feed dogs are generally lowered or managed using the machine’s dedicated free-motion setting. Follow the instructions for your particular machine, as setup methods vary.
Is Every Daisy a fabric-cutting ruler?
No. It is a machine-quilting template designed to guide a ruler foot. It is not intended as a rotary-cutting ruler or as a template for cutting fabric with a blade.
Is this set suitable for someone new to ruler work?
The repeated rounded shape is approachable once you are comfortable controlling your machine and ruler foot. Beginners should first practise on a small quilt sandwich, stitch slowly and reposition their hands before reaching the edge of a comfortable holding area.
How can I confirm compatibility before ordering?
Check your machine manual and ruler-foot documentation for the accepted template thickness. If you remain unsure, contact Two Petals with the full machine model, current ruler-foot number and whether the machine is used at a table or on a frame.
