After setting aside my quilting for 25 years (life has a way of interrupting things sometimes)…I started up again and found myself again intimidated by free motion quilting. Fortunately, now there is all kind of information on the Internet and particularly on YouTube showing you how to do lots of wonderful quilt patterns simply using your walking foot on your home machine.
So in my research of how I wanted to quilt my latest project, I discovered this book. What a wonderful gem of knowledge this book is. It is very creative with simple instructions and plenty of pictures…. and the best part is that it’s all straight line quilting using your walking foot.
I immediately found something that would work for my latest project and it turned out wonderful. My 95-year-old mother is going to love her quilted wall hanging birthday gift !
Now to move on and finish all those other unfinished projects by quilting them with some of the other ideas demonstrated in this book.
Just getting back to sewing and quilting after major health issues. Discovered this book at just the right time. Started several quilt tops and found longarm services just too expensive. Will learn these amazing designs along with learning to operate my new sewing machine. Highly recommend for those with some sewing and quilting experience.
Easy to understand instructions and photos that show how to sew several straight line quilting patterns. Good information on threads and needles for quilting and maintaining correct tension.
