4.0 out of 5 stars Hand Piecing with Jinny Beyer, July 13, 2006

Top quality - which is what you would expect form Jinny Beyer. Top price - which you expect from her too. By time you buy the book, the CD and the tool you are out a bundle of cash that I would rather spend on fabric. But the 3 products compliment each other, the instructions are clear, the tool has the needed markings, the CD shows Ms Beyer in action. I'm slowly getting the hang of it and am pleased with the results. I just wish there was a package with all 3 (at a package price).

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice DVD and pattern!, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Hand Piecing with Jinny Beyer: A One-on-One Tutorial with Jinny Beyer (CD-ROM)

I loved this DVD! It was set up with very clear menu choices on the left, and the videos were wonderful. After reading the previous review, I was concerned that it was going to be complicated or incomplete, but it wasn't at all difficult. The previous reviewer said that she could only find one video and no pattern, but there were several videos in the "How To" video section, and the pattern was listed on the menu on the left as "Genesis Quilt". Very easy, very thorough, and I wish that all were as forthright as this one. I'm going to really enjoy working with this in my class.

FIRST OF ALL NEVER EVER PURCHASE FROM A1BOOKS!! THIS BOOK STORE ON AMAZON, WILL LIST LOW, THEN MAKE YOU WAIT A MONTH, THEN LIST IT AT A HIGHER PRICE! AFTER HE REFUNDS YOUR MONEY!! Anyway, I loved this CD, I had purchased the book, which I also loved, and had taped a show where she demonstrated her technique on "Simply Quilts" which was very helpful also. But, with the CD you get to see everything Up Close, and she Demonstrates beautifully, No wonder she Teaches, and is referred to as the Master in Hand Quilting. At first, I fumbled, and felt extremely Awkward in holding the needle and fabric the way she did, but once I started to hold the eye end of my needle against the thimble like she does, with in 2 to 3 hours, I couldn't believe I ACTUALLY STARTED TO "HAND PIECE" JUST LIKE JINNY!! IT WAS LIKE IT "CLICKED" AND I WOULD NEVER, GO BACK TO THE SLOW AND UNEVEN WAY OF HAND PIECING AGAIN!! Also, for the reviewer, who couldn't find the Genesis Quilt Pattern, its right there under Genesis, with Templates and all. As well as all other 8 Lessons. But, I can't stress enough, as long as you keep the eye end of the needle against your thimble and hold the fabric taught at all times as your moving along between those 2 fingers like she demonstrates, you too will be piecing faster and faster, and more accurately! just like Jinny!! with in very little time!!
