book review

Great book with fabulous information. This has everything you need to know to do simple to the very complicated work.

The BEST How-to-book!!

I've been quilting for some time now... However, we can all use a little help now and then on a technique we're not used to using all the time. What I absolutely LOVE about this book is that they give you several different options for almost every technique out there. This book stays on my quilting table at all times! There are tons of charts on quilt sizes, triangle sizes, flying geese, etc. It's just a wealth of great information and presented in an easy to understand manner with lots of pictures. I have looked at several other "how-to" books and have not yet found one to even come close to replacing this one. I even took it and had it spiral bound so it was easier to look through and hold my place open. It's been worth every penny and it's not even the most expensive one out there!

The first book you need...

Yes, this is the first book you need if you want to start quilting. If you sew a little, it will take you trough everything from fabric, color, notions, techniques and so many other things. Give yourself time to read it from beginning to end, you will be able to make your first quilt and do it right even the first time. This is not a pattern book and was not intended as one, this is a basic how to book and a good one.
