Customer Reviews

I "adore" this book!

Debra starts a chapter on binding with the sentence "I adore piped bindings". Thanks to the well-written instructions & great illustrations, I do too! She covers more than piping - making it easy to try some of the other techniques that can change an ordinary quilt into a WOW quilt. This book is definitely a MUST-HAVE for me.

Ricky Tims raves about it

In machine-technique workshops, Ricky Tims refers to this book as his "Bible." Crammed with great techniques, and many are EASIER ways to do things that look NICER than what you've been taught to do. From the cover it looks like a book about applique, but it caused a big reduction in my cursing about binding and finishing.

This book is a marvel

If you're a quilter who always wanted to try machine applique, this book is a must. Easy reading instructions that give immediate, perfect results. It's a winner. I carry it to work with me just to be able to read through it when I have a few minutes free time. I wish I had found it years ago. Debra Wagner is a precious find. I will certainly be ordering her other books.
