Editorial Reviews
Review
This is a totally great beginner s book. At the start, Christina lays out exactly what you need to get started. She walks you through cleaning your sewing machine, and explains about darning presser feet and extension tables and quilting gloves. She also explains the best kinds of thread for free-motion quilting. Turns out, it s not a huge investment to get started on this craft. The next section is all basic techniques for FMQ. This section is beautifully documented, with well-lit, well-staged photos and lots of them. And then there are many pages of sample designs to get you inspired to quilt. I m so impressed with the instructional quality of this book. I m having trouble articulating this well, but I feel like, as a beginner, this book gives me just enough instruction to get started without overwhelming me. –Craftypod.com; 11/18/13
