Good, useful book,

This review is from: Amish Patterns for Machine Quilting (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
A useful tool for the machine quilting library. There are about 50 templates including very basic, simple designs, plus flowers (lots and lots of them), baskets, stars, leaves, hearts, and combinations. Each template is shown on one page along with a diagram showing arrows of how to sew the design with only one starting point. Some designs do require multiple starting points but many are single-line (although much turning) designs. Some corner designs are shown and some attention is given to patterns that turn a corner. About half the patterns are the kind that might be used in a quilt block (not continuous border-type designs), such as tulips, stars, or baskets. I was looking more for new continuous-line, border-type patterns and did not see much new in that area. One page provides a detailed diagram showing how to quilt feathers. Being more of a beginner-level, self-taught quilter, the feathers always looked too difficult to me. But now I see clearly how to proceed and might actually try this design!

This review is from: Amish Patterns for Machine Quilting (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
Quilting designs are all on one-sided pages so light-box tracing is a snap. Directional arrows make it very clear. A great reference book, with lots of design ideas.

This review is from: Amish Patterns for Machine Quilting (Dover Quilting) (Paperback)
this was a most enjoyable book. it is most informative and is easy to comprehend. I liked the fact that you could just sit and have a cup of
tea and make all sort of material plans, while reading this book it was a fun book to have in my collection, for a first time quilter.M coleman
