Color dancing,
By R. I. Pollock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dancing with Thread: Your Guide to Free-Motion Quilting (Paperback)
In this book Ann Fahl has generously shared her wealth of knowledge.Beginning with an inspirational gallery of work we are led from the basics of supplies, tools and threads, through the complexities of getting the best from your sewing machine to the point at which the "Color Dances" begin. The book ends with projects of varying intricacy and a troubleshooting guide. All in all a comprehensive book that manages to instil good practice, inspires experimentation and is still a good read! This book is staying very close to my machine! 19 of 21 people found the following review helpful
