By: Pat Cody Publisher: Dover Publications Average Rating: Binding: Paperback Label: Dover Publications Number of Items: 1 Number of Pages: 96 Publication Date: March 30, 2001
Instructions for 86 great designs (geometric, garden, and other motifs) without complicated starts and stops. Includes helpful suggestions for choosing and combining patterns, fitting designs on projects, resizing, selecting materials, and basting. Patterns appear on a background grid for easy resizing, and repeat units and separate sewing paths are clearly indicated.
waste of money I should have heeded the critical reviewer's statement. These are very basic designs that are available in many places on the internet for free. No new insights. I don't even want to resell my copy because I feel it would be a disservice to the subsequent buyer.
Continuous Line Quilting Perfect resource with detailed instructions on how to transition from one direction to another while machine quilting.
Made Getting Started Much Easier. We just purchased a long arm quilting machine and weren't sure where to start or how. This book was very iluminating and gave us a lot of help and information. Thanks.
Priced right This book focuses on borders and the patterns are on a grid so they are easy to transfer. Good basic designs for your library. This is not a book for the expert. Great for those of us starting out. Can't beat the price.
A whole useful book for the price of a magazine I bought this design book online as an inexpensive Secret Santa gift. She is not getting it!
Initially I was underwhelmed on opening the book. Each continuous line design is drawn on what looks like 1/4" square graph paper. On further examination I decided that this could be really useful for resizing the designs.
The introduction contains a generous amount of practical how to information, unusual in a design book as opposed to a how to book. In my opinion, those six pages alone would be worth the purchase price.
I found that each and every one of the 86 designs has its own "StitcherEase" tip, a clearly marked design repeat and most importantly, shows how to turn the corner with the design. There are flowing curved designs, and sharp geometrics, simple and complex ones.
Many of the designs would be lovely used in the borders of a quilt which had an overall or meandering design in the center.
This book is an inexpensive, excellent and inspirational resource for anyone who would like to learn how to mark and machine quilt their own tops.
