Product Description
From Amazon
Skillfully drafted and endlessly varied, the wealth of stitching patterns in 250 Continuous-Line Quilting Designs ought to satisfy many quilters looking for interesting motifs to enliven a project. Author Laura Lee Fritz lays brief but good groundwork for planning out the pattern on the quilt top and transferring designs, then devotes virtually the entire book to the designs themselves. Her extensive repertoire of motifs is divided into seven categories that include animals, domestic objects, botanicals, and abstracts. From a simple geometric to a detailed creature to an intricate scene, these designs should please quilters of various skill levels. --Amy Handy
From Library Journal
Continuous line images, when quilted as dark lines on a light fabric or in white thread on a dark fabric, can create a striking effect especially on quilted garments. Here, Lee give the quilter some 250 free-hand quilting designs, along with a gallery of finished pieces illustrating how the designs might be used effectively. The designs are grouped into broad subject areas like birds, flowers, animals, and textures and feature clean lines that are simple for the nonartist to follow. One can see these designs being used by other needleworkers, especially in embroidery pieces. Incidentally, the "long-arm quilter" referred to in the subtitle is a special quilting machine. Recommended for public libraries.

Not very satisfied,
By A Customer
This review is from: 250 Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Paperback)
Yes, the book does provide you with 250 continuous line designs; however, I couldn't find more than a few that I would even consider using. The patterns are very child-like and may be appropriate if one was quilting for a baby or child. The book is nicely segmented by area (bird, animals etc.) Very few instructions, only the basics. For me, it wasn't worth the price and had I had the chance to see it before purchasing, it would not be in my library. A good choice if you want a way to quilt outlines of animals, plants, and birds.

terrific inspiration for machine quilters,
By
This review is from: 250 Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Paperback)
This book is completely unique in the world of quilting designs. All are intended for use with a sewing machine, although it need not be a longarm quilting machine. I did fine with several of them on a regular Bernina. I am sick to death of precise, cutesy feathers and hearts. This book was like a fresh breeze coming through, letting me see machine quilting in a whole new way. Not only have I used the designs, I have been able to invent some of my own using inspiration from this book. Most of all, it loosened me up. Straight, perfect lines are NOT always best. These naturalistic, freeform designs were just what I needed. AND the book is so [inexpensive], how can you go wrong?

Uninspiring,
By A Customer
This review is from: 250 Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Paperback)
The designs in this book are uninspiring and not even well done. It is Ok to have the outline of a dog as a quilt design, but it should be well executed and not look like it was done by an amateur. I have picked this book up a half dozen times, but was never inspired to buy it.
