Comment: Myth breaker #1
I've been quilting for 26+ years since I was a kid. Back in the 1970's the Quilt SNOBS filled the world with the ridiculous idea that ONLY hand quilting made an authentic quilt. Thanks to the Gene Autry Museum who put on a WONDERFUL show in the mid 90's dedicated to the years of machine quilting ever since the original HAND CRANK machines. American women aren't dumb, they wanted to finish as many quilts as possible with their precious time so they of course chose to USE machines.
Myth breaker #2.. So you spend $45 for a 6 hour class to learn how to machine quilt only to find that the crux is put a brick on the peddle and just keep moving. Yes it is THAT easy.
This book takes you FINALLY past all the myths and has you looking at the patterns and FREE MOTION drawing using the needle. I NEVER stipple my quilts any longer to fill in areas, I picked up a willow leaf pattern from this book that alone was worth the purchase of this book.
The hardest thing about machine quilting is remembering to RELAX, this is a hobby you love so REMEMBER to enjoy yourself with this step of quilting as well!!!!

Summary: Beautiful Quilts
Comment: This book is not one that I would recommend to the beginner. I have been machine quilting for only about a month and this book is the fourth that I have come across. Quite frankly, if it had been the first I would never had started machine quilting in the first place. The quilts that are included are very well done and probrably good projects for a slightly seasoned quilter. Not me. I would recommend "Easy Machine Quilting" by Jane Townswick or "Machine Quilting Made Easy" by Maurine Noble. Both of these books offer a series of baby steps(projects). After completing these I am sure that I will be ready for Show me how...
