Good, useful book,
By
This review is from: Amish Patterns for Machine Quilting (Paperback)
A useful tool for the machine quilting library. There are about 50 templates including very basic, simple designs, plus flowers (lots and lots of them), baskets, stars, leaves, hearts, and combinations. Each template is shown on one page along with a diagram showing arrows of how to sew the design with only one starting point. Some designs do require multiple starting points but many are single-line (although much turning) designs. Some corner designs are shown and some attention is given to patterns that turn a corner. About half the patterns are the kind that might be used in a quilt block (not continuous border-type designs), such as tulips, stars, or baskets. I was looking more for new continuous-line, border-type patterns and did not see much new in that area. One page provides a detailed diagram showing how to quilt feathers. Being more of a beginner-level, self-taught quilter, the feathers always looked too difficult to me. But now I see clearly how to proceed and might actually try this design!

One-sided pages are a plus+!,

This review is from: Amish Patterns for Machine Quilting (Paperback)
Quilting designs are all on one-sided pages so light-box tracing is a snap. Directional arrows make it very clear. A great reference book, with lots of design ideas.
