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.

Product Description

Those who have struggled with machine quilting will be relieved and delighted with the author's step-by-step tour of the world of machine quilting. Ports of call on the tour include fabric selection and preparation, choosing batting and backing fabric, pin basting layers, marking the quilt, thread choice, quilting sequence, walking foot and free-motion quilting, and finishing and washing the quilt. The sections on marking the quilting design and changing bobbin tension are particularly helpful as are the tips on lighting and managing the quilt in the machine. Practice your skills on three charming quilt patterns: Trip Around the World wall quilt, Log Cabin Revisited, and Sixteen Baskets of Mud. AUTHORBIO: Diane is an avid machine quilter. Her quilts have won the Bernina Award for Machine Workmanship four times, received the Pfaff Master Award in 2001, and many other honors. Her work has been exhibited internationally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Friendly and full of information, April 23 2004

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Author reveals all!, Jan 23 2004

By	"aspragg" (United States) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beginners review, Oct 20 2003

By	Arlene Austring (Pitt Meadows, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews

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.
