The Quilting Manual: Techniques, Troubleshooting & More, Designs for Hand & Machine

Want to move beyond the basics when quilting? You'll find over 100 continuous and stand-alone designs for blocks, borders and more. 16 professional quilters share tips, techniques and motifs to inspire and inform. The designs are suitable for hand-quilting or domestic machine quilting with feed-dogs up or down. Discover 16 know-hows from basics of machine quilting to troubleshooting. The points I found most useful as a quilter were the stopping and starting - a professional method preferred by show judges and quilting negative space. The hand quilting section only mentions sashiko. The useful quilting designs are shown as line drawings, some with directional arrows. This book has a nice soft feel, is well-designed with easy to use instructions.

its ok not great

Many good ideas in this book.

Wasn't what I expected and it isn't particularly helpful for a beginner, and overall I find it quite vague. Great, perhaps, if you are looking for some designs, but if you want some basic help to get you started, look elsewhere. Possibly also the thinnest manual I've come across with a lot of space dedicated to promoting the 'quilt experts' and their other books.

not very good book, too many designs and very little information - 32 pages some tips and techniques and 40 pages designs which most of them for experience quilters - very disappointed with the book
