1.0 out of 5 stars frustration, January 22, 2006

This review is from: Beautiful Quiltagami: New Ideas for Fabric Folding (Hardcover)

I purchased this book because the pictures shown were interesting and something different - a good start, so I thought! The instructions however are seriously lacking in detail. Regardless of whether or not you are competent or familiar with origami, Mrs Hiney's instructions, or lack of, will be the source of serious frustration and major headaches! Be prepared to do major research on your own to get proper instructions.

Don't waste your money on such a sloppy pattern designer and writer. Her instructions have many errors and missing steps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quiltigami - Terrible Book, February 24, 2008

By

This review is from: Beautiful Quiltagami: New Ideas for Fabric Folding (Paperback)

I received this book for Christmas 2007 and made one of the flower wall-hangings. These are hands down the worst instructions I have ever tried to follow. I was so frustrated that I went on-line to see if there were any updated instructions or corrections and could only find a message board from 2004 with other frustrated Quiltigami users. It seems as though the author wrote the instructions, had someone illustrate it without reading the instructions and then had it published with nobody ever trying to follow the instructions before printing the book! I recommend not wasting your money. Find a paper origami book and try creating them in fabric. I wish my sister could receive her money back.
