Easy Machine Quilting,
By Jill Scrimshaw (Waikanae New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Machine Quilting (Paperback)
This book is full of ideas for machine quilting and is divided up into 2 sections. It is a collection of quilting lessons written by some of the foremost machine quilters in America. The first section tells you about the basics of machine quilting, and then has various excersizes to help you practise each technique. .The second half of the book contains quilts from the authors with details on types of quilting, and where to find the information in the book to refresh your memory on the technique. A wonderful book with lots of hints to help you with your quilting

Solid teaching book,
By Georgina "tville" (san francisco, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Machine Quilting (Paperback)
This book will give you allot of ideas and more importantly a method to build those skills. It has the edge over Hargrave's book in that it is a solid tutorial; her's really is an advanced book. That said it is colourful and bright but the pages are rather busy with all these little 'notes'. Each section is done by the 'expert' of that type of quilting and in some cases can stand alone as there is a small box at the bottom giving getting started hints "Let's get started" :-)It follows in the beginning the same format, chapter for chapter, of the Hargrave book, the difference being this is more aimed for quilters brushing up on their work (re-learning) or beginners. A solid way to learn how to machine quilt and what's needed, batting choices included.

Really great resource,
By "anndiego" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Machine Quilting (Paperback)
If you are not able to learn machine quilting by taking a class or learning by watching someone else, this book is the next best thing. There are a LOT of clear pictures and easy descriptions of the techniques. I keep it right beside my machine.
