Few things are out of date, like anything to do with computers but it’s a goldmine of easy to understand information for beginners to experts.

Although I have been quilting on and off for about 6 years now, I am in no way an expert (in fact, I'd say I am still basically a beginner). This book is a great visual guide, and it's so easy to look up the exact technique you need; it's like an encyclopedia on quilting.

This is the best book on how to quilt ever written. I turn to it everytime I have to remember how to do a binding or figure out what kind of batting to use. If you want to quilt, get this book. It's worth hundreds of quilting classes.

Yes, I am a total beginner, but I think this book would be fun and useful for beginner's to intermediates. Maybe some quilter's know it all, and would thus not find the book very helpful

Very useful! A dictionary, of sorts, with great illustrations for each point. Worth flipping through for quilters or any sewers in general.

[Sandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really love this book! This is a great resource for any quilter, beginner to advance. I have been quilting for over a decade, and sewing for much longer than that and I still think this book is very useful to me. Wonderful information! We even use it as a guide at the quilt shop where I work. I think anyone who sews will get some use out of this book.

As the title suggestion, great tool for quilters. Think of it as an mini encyclopedia. You won't learned how to quilt, but definitely learn more of the terms and techniques available through this book.
