Rating:  Summary: A Godsend! Review: I'm an intermediate quilter who has been struggling to make larger bed-sized quilts for over a year. This book makes it SO much easier to quilt large sized projects! I highly recommend this book! In particular, the method described for the "Vanilla Ice Cream" quilt is a method I intend to use over and over! I had two peeves with this book which are minor, but worth mentioning. One: the format. Quilt instructions and photos are spread throughout willy-nilly. I HATE books where I must page through text to find the picture and back again to the instructions. I much prefer the photos of the finished result to be near the instructions. Second, the quilts aren't photographed well so that you can see the final result. In particular, the vanilla ice cream quilt is photographed draped over a chair, and it is very difficult to see the end result. I prefer quilting instruction books to have photos so that the finished quilt is clearly visible Overall, however, this book is worth ten other books on machine quilting which tell you how 'easy' it is to run a queen-sized quilt sandwich through your sewing machine! The instuctions on how to back your quilt are worth the cost of the book alone!
Rating:  Summary: If you think you can't machine quilt a large quilt Review: Think again. With the methods in this book you divide your quilt into parts, quilt the smaller parts and put the quilt together. It takes much of the strain and tension out of machine quilting large quilts.
