 Great place to start!! July 30, 2007

I recently took a class taught by Ann Moore (EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR) who recommended this book for her class. Although this book may not have a lot of pages, it gives a tremendous amount of information. In addition to basic machine quilting techniques, there are tables giving characteristics of threads, needles, batting, and other useful information. The types, uses, and sizes of threads are made very clear and understandable. The book starts with basic exercises and progresses through really advanced techniques used in art quilts. Don't let the 64 pages fool you into thinking there is not a lot of information here. It covers both "straight-line" and free motion quilting. As with any art, practice is needed before one excels, and this book provides exercises so you can build your skills. I have three other machine quilting books, and this is by far the best one for a beginning machine quilter.

I have been looking at many books (purchased some)in hopes of finding a simple book with some really good instructions on quilting, and this book did the job! It may seem thin, but if you need a book that covers all the basics with clear instructions you can't go wrong. Besides the easy to understand instructions,there are pictures,colored photographs of finished quilts,projects for practice,and even charts for thread,batting,and needle choices. Some of the books I purchased(for making art quilts)gave great directions for many things,but didn't really cover enough on quilt stitching.I didn't need another inspirational or color theory book. This book got me going on the sewing machine! I would say that if you need a quilt book that explains how to prepare a quilt for stitching and then actually learn the different types of stitches in an easy to understand way,you shouldn't be disappointed.
 So so... May 25, 2007

Not the best sewing instruction book or the worst.
At only 64 pages, it's more of a pamphlet than a book on machine quilting techniques. That said, I still like this book for it's organization and projects, troubleshooting and encouragement.
I feel like it doesn't really deserve 4 stars, but 3 seems stingy.
