Product Description
From Library Journal
An award-winning quilter known for her traditional-style quilts, which are machine quilted but have the look of detailed hand quilting, Gaudynski here includes methods for machine quilting that she has developed over the years. Gaudynski covers every aspect of quilting with a sewing machine, from choosing equipment and supplies to marking and quilting the design and finishing the quilt. Of special note are the sections on free-motion quilting and dealing with the bulk of a quilt in the machine. The text is rounded out by three machine-quilting projects designed to illustrate techniques taught in the book. Highly recommended for all but the smallest quilting collections.

Friendly and full of information,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guide to Machine Quilting (Paperback)
I had dreaded beginning to machine quilt -- I found the whole prospect intimidating. Then, I bought this book. It is terrific! It is written in such a friendly and sympathetic tone that it helped to assuage my fears and get me quilting. The information is clearly presented with all sorts of helpful tips. Now, when I sit down to machine quilt I keep this book close by and recommend it wholeheartedly to all those reluctant machine quilters out there.

Author reveals all!,

This review is from: Guide to Machine Quilting (Paperback)
If you can only afford one "machine quilting" guide book, then let it be this one. Author takes you through every step of machine quilting. A must read BEFORE you quilt that top! Great for the beginner and experienced quilter as well. Tips and techniques throughout; Diane leaves nothing to question. Read about "plowing through a brick wall" or why you get "bird's nest" under your stitching. Explains in detail which feet to use for what purpose. If you have patchwork tops ready and have dreaded the quilting; instructions learned here take away the fear. With practice, you too can machine quilt with excellent results.

Beginners review,
By Arlene Austring (Pitt Meadows, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Machine Quilting (Paperback)
This has been the best book I have used, and I have used many, since beginning to teach myself to quilt. The little hints have been most helpful. The humor and realities of sewing machine use kept me interested. I continue to use it for reference.
