 It Works!! October 5, 2007

Curved piecing is so exciting but I really struggled and finally gave it up. The projects in Piec-lique were intriguing so I purchased the book hoping to learn how to piece curves. When following the instructions, this method is trouble-free. The seams are smooth, and clean. Washable glue is used holding the seam together instead of pins, as a result there are no puckers. Washable glue allows you to look over your project before sewing and make any changes desired. The book has resizing charts so you can enlarge patterns for different projects. The patterns in this book are unique and add variety to your projects. I now love to curve piece and have used the Piec-lique method on several quilts and wall hangings. If you like curves this is the method to try. IT WORKS!!
 Looking for a second opinion . . March 20, 2007

Much as I'd love to learn to machine sew curved pieced applique, after reading through this book I think I'd like a second opinion. My first disappointment came when the author listed washable glue as one of the supplies needed. Any project using this method of piecing must be extremely well thought out prior to beginning. The author suggests making a drawing of the finished piece, and numbering every piece to be appliqued, as well as background pieces, so that you will have a reference to work from and remind you in what order to sew the pieces. All pieced sewing is done from the wrong side of the fabrics, so you need to start with the foremost applique piece, and work towards the background (which is also pieced). The order in which you piece takes ALOT of forethought, and I found this very confusing. Double layered freezer paper is suggested as a template for every piece of the finished work, and seams must be starched, pressed, and glued before being sewn. Honestly, I haven't been inspired to experiment with her method. She does include trace-able outlines for some of the simpler projects, and explains the piecing order for these.
Schamber is a pro at her own method, as is obvious by the beautiful pieces she's included in the book.
