A bit confusing if you are not a seasoned quilter. I'm used to and quilting but wanted to try machine quilting since my arthritis is so bad in my hands. I may need to look for The Dummies Guide to Machine Quilting.

Great book, but more artistic than practical -- I love the inspiration, but I often had to supplement the how to parts with additional reading (which makes sense because I am a beginner).
