Book Description:
Great Primer! -- As a beginning short arm quilter, I found this book to be very informative and thought out. Although the focus is more on the stationary machine quilting, I found many helpful tips and ideas for improving my quilting skills! Sue encourages the PPP's (practise, practise, practise)of quilting by creating beautiful practise sampler mini quilts. Beginning stationary machine quilters will benefit from the information on how to plan your quilting stategy and bundle bulky quilts through sewing machine. Illustrates many quilting patterns and how to plan for machine quilting. Includes info on various threads and importance of thread tension.. Hope I've said enough and not too much :o) ...5 star worthy!
Great book!!.. This is the book from which I finally figured out how to stipple!...I studied her stippling pattern, and then it fell into place...Thanks, Sue.. A new machine quilter: This books for you -- After reviewing many machine quilting book, I chose this one as our class book. She is comprehensive and to the point. The areas that need covering are backed by great photos and/or drawings. Many books are to wordy and the students get lost. I find her book refreshing and a good class support. My students can go beyond our class and feel successful with her guidance.
