Just like the class

I actually took the Machine Quilting class from Sue Nickels. It was a great class and the book has all the information contained in the class. It has helped me so much to have the book as I would rather be sewing in class instead of taking notes. I highly recommend that you take Sue's class but if you cannot the book has everything we learned in the class explained thoroughly. If you can take the class I recommend that you also get the book. Great class - great book!!

Great Book

This is a great book for anyone who is interested in machine quilting. It has step by step directions and sample pieces to practice on. Great color photographs.

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

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.
