5.0 out of 5 stars The Book I Have Been Waiting to Find, Mar 18 2004

By A Customer

When I started to quilt a few months ago, I bought many "how to quilt" books. None of them really addressed what to do once you conquered piecing a top unless you wanted to hand-stitch it. This book covers what you need to know to to finish your quilt in style. The patterns are beautiful and just what I wanted. If I had found this book earlier, I would have saved myself from buying all of those useless other books!

This book is good for everyone from beginner to seasoned quilter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully magnificent--for all quilters!, Nov 1 2003

By	Jerilea Hendrick "duncanje" (Northwood, Iowa) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book is a must have if you're thinking about machine quilting! Harriet Hargrave takes you from preparing your machine to teaching you simple movements to complex patterns. She first breaks down the basics by teaching how to practice sewing straight lines, squares, circles, stars, hearts, and even your name with the feed dogs down. After you've mastered that, Hargrave breaks down designs that look complicated but are actually not! With easy to follow diagrams, steps, and pictures with book is a must have for beginners, intermediates, and seasoned quilters alike!

Very thorough, good pics and narrative. Quilting designs are very nice with a great substitute for feathers that is totally continuous without back-tracking. Read more
