This is an excellent book, with photos and tips on every page. There are sections on thimbles, markers, batting, frames, and hoops. Skill sections provide detailed instructions along with the photos for basting, starting, stopping, and sliding your stitch. Additional sections discuss trapunto, stippling, country style quilting, and tying. Exercises and practice ideas are provided to learn the techniques presented.

The best chapter explains that anxiety producing phrase, "quilt as desired"! I also really appreciated the photos of beginner, intermediate and prize-winning quilting. It made me feel better about what I can do now and gave me a goal to work toward.

I found this book to be an excellent resource! The instructions are easy to follow, yet detailed and the many photos are very helpful. It's like having a quilting teacher at home with you all the time.

This book is all about handquilting, and gives great information on the entire process from choosing batting, threads, thimbles, and basting methods, and includes color photos for each step explained. Handquilting is time consuming, but is by no means hard to learn. This book will provide beginners with all the information they need, and is an excellent volume to own for reference.

I highly recommend this book for all levels of hand quilters. Lots of great tips along with graphic examples. I have other books but this is the one that I turn to most often for information.

This book has some really great pictures and explainations to help with all aspects of getting a quilt top quilted and choosing the supplies to do it with. If you haven't actually seen someone do a quilt stitch, a book is not going to be able to show you how, but it's better than nothing. I have seen someone quilt, but not much. At least now I have a good quide and have been able to experiment with what I have read and seen in this book. I am glad I bought this book.

Quilting has been increasing with popularity but hand quilting seems to have been tossed by the wayside. Too many new quilters forget about the quilting, leaving it to someone else to do on a machine. This book helps with the questions that a new quilter needs answered so she can begin to put the finishing touch on that heirloom quilt she just created. Believe me, your children and grandchildren will love the finished project more with your hand quilting on their keepsake quilt.

I got this book from the library first and now will be ordering it from Amazon.com. I am to the quilting stage on my first quilt and my mom, who has been guiding me up until this step, lives a few states away. I am so impressed with the detailed instructions and photographs throughout the book. It has helped easy some of my anxiety about the quilting part and has also inspired me to keep going and finish! I highly recommend this book.

This book is very detailed and was exactly what I wanted. The Seller sent it in perfect condition! I've been enjoying the content since it arrived.

This is an excellent reference book for hand quilters, beginner or advanced!

this book explains alot. if u are a quilter i would definetly get it. answered some of my unanswered questions....
A MUST FOR QUILTERS.......

I thought that this book was about all aspects of hand quilting, including cutting and piecing. Although this book taught me how to pick a thimble, choose batting, and test markers, I have no idea how to create a quilt on which to use those things.

That aside, this book is very thorough in teaching stippling. But if you're wanting to find a book on piecing and patterns, keep looking.
