Classy Designs, Instructions Not too Clear

The designs in this book are more classical and visually compelling and pleasing than those in most banner books. The use of silks and velvets makes for a striking and high-quality banner. I did find the directions and visual aids a bit confusing to follow. I still like this book, though. It's my favorite banner book, and I have several.

Beautiful results

We have made two of these banners for our church, and are very pleased with the results! They are not intended to be sewn, but rather adhered with Wonder-Under, which makes the more complex designs possible, and lets you use all sorts of fabrics--satins, silks, cottons, and even corduroy. We had no previous experience with banner-making (though we are crafty and can sew), and started right in with one of the most complex designs in the book. The rich colors of the silks and satins make it a focal point in the sanctuary. It does take a little practice to get used to the techniques, but the results are worth it. It also helps to have a good eye for colors and textures when selecting the fabrics. The designs in this book are beautiful and modern (not like the old felt-and-tassle banners from the 70s).

Great!

- Cover is very inviting and aesthetically attractive. - Banners are spiritually uplifting and symbolically meaningful. - Text/instructions are easy to read, well-organized. - Exquisitely artistic designs. - Have been privileged to see a number of these banners "in person" and they far exceed the imagination in beauty. - Truly an awesome (in the true sense of the word) and unique form of Christian celebration and praise! - The time put into making these creative banners is well-worth it! - Thank you Marie E. Pierce-Ruhland Koehlinger for sharing your gifts with the rest of us!
