Will it help me quilt the designs I like (intricate and symmetrical) by machine easier - absolutely! I plan on taking the plunge in the near future as I still need to purchase all of the supplies. As I mentioned to a friend of mine - will it help me decide on a quilting design - no.
I can see where I would like doing this type of quilting. Another thing this particular instructor emphasized was to mark a grid on your quilt so you could get your design set properly on the quilt and you can line up the various markings on the ruler to the grid you have on your quilt. As Watson mentions, and the instructor emphasized repeatedly, there is the offset of sizing of your quilting design due to the needle being 1/4" away (either inside or outside) of the ruler edge. It was exactly what I was looking for to see if this was something I thought I could manage. My LQS just last week offered a Zoom ruler quilting class. Creative Grids Machine Quilting Tools Rulers 9 Pack - Taj Elvira Chevy Squiggy Shorty Slim Archie Shelly Sid. I've been intrigued by ruler quilting for a while now myself. 7 Rulers by Angela Walters - Taj, Elvira, Chevy, Squiggy, Shorty, Slim, Archie. (Although I managed without one so it can be done.)
The lady from Westalee has some really good videos as do many people, but a beginners class is likely great, too. Also, don't be afraid to use your marking pens so that you know where you're going and don't feel you have to press hard against the ruler. Some things I had to pay attention to were to not look too far ahead, because then the foot would wander off the ruler and I'd get a squiggly line and to keep my hand not just on the ruler, but also on the fabric, so I could move it all as a unit. Once you understand the concept, it's easy. With rulers, you have to be able to visualise that everything is 1/4" over from where it seems, as the needle is centred in the middle of the foot, a 1/4" from the edge of the ruler. It has very useful markings on it and comes with rubbery things so it doesn't slip.
