This is a great quick reference book from one of the pioneers in machine quilting Harriet Hargrave and also Alex Anderson. This is a great supplement to anyone who is serious about improving their quilting skills and in less than 60 pages, offers a wealth of valuable information all the way from best fabrics for hand quilting to solving common problems with machine quilting.
It's just the perfect size to throw in your tote when attending guilds or classes, for checking for common issues that do come up. Both authors provide quick to the point tips and there are plenty of diagrams and great photos to clarify the particular topics.
Harriet goes into great detail discussing the different types of batting and what you can expect from them in your projects, along with your workspace setup, thread, needle and fabric selections, just to name a few important topics. There's way more and believe me, everything in this book is well worth revisiting even if you are an experienced quilter. So this book is great for any level of experience.
This book is an incredible bargain and too good to pass up.

Well written using terms & illustrations beginning & continuing quilters will find useful. Anderson and Hargrave each share their expertise on the subject of putting the final quilt together with hand or machine quilting. The book answered many of my questions.

Tips and Tricks is a great reference for Harriet's larger machine quilting book. It is a fast guide when you don't want to search through the larger book.

this book is a compact book of all of her other books. as always, easy to understand and good reference book
