Editorial Reviews

Review

This is the most comprehensive book you will find with instructions, tips, and suggestions for using your die cutting system. It will take you from quick and simple die cutting for any brand of die cutter to very sophisticated techniques. With this book, you will learn to use your die cutting system the right way from the start. I wouldn't be without it. [EDeN is] my favorite chapter in the Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips... Ebony came up with the most clever system I have ever seen for writing pattern instructions for quilters. And this system will work not only with die cutting systems but also for rotary cutting. --Marjorie Busby, Marjorie's Quilting Bee

The Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips is the book I wish I had a little over two years ago. It will help you determine which machine is best for you, how to use the machine and more. Why should you buy this book? 1.) It will help you determine which machine will rock your world. 2.) It will help you to understand how to use different dies in different machines. 3.) You will learn tips on how to correctly cut fabric without costly mishaps. 4.) Lots of amazing quilting tips and tricks. 5.) Tips on all the consumables used with die cutting machines. --Jennifer Rodriguez, All Things Belle

This book is jammed pack with info, tips, tricks and covers E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! The question & answer sections are exactly what we quilters need, and the cool facts offer great info for the reader. I love the storage solutions... and the EDeN info. This is for sure the Die-Cutting Bible! --Vanessa Wilson, The Crafty Gemini

Award-winning quilter Ebony Love is recognized as one of the leading experts in fabric die-cutting techniques, and she regularly produces free videos featuring tips and techniques for die cutting and quilting.

In her quilting, you'll see Ebony's love of blindingly-bright prints, and her unabashed use of batiks and solids. She considers herself a traditional quilter who uses modern tools and color palettes to interpret her artistic voice, and of course, if it can't be die cut, it isn't getting made!

5.0 out of 5 starsAn ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ANY FABRIC DIE CUTTER!
By Maria on November 22, 2012
Format: Spiral-bound
THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK FOR ANY FABRIC DIE CUTTER QUILTER OUT THERE. I just finished reading this book and it is totally AWESOME. Ebony answers ALL your questions plus MORE. WELL worth the money!! I purchased my AccuQuilt GO! several months back not knowing if this was the right die cutter for me and I also didn't know there were other die cutters on the market (UNTIL I read The Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips), thankfully after reading Ebony's book I had picked the correct fabric die cutter! I can NOT say enough about this book! I learned things about my die cutter that I had no idea it would do! I even learned the EDeN Chart which I had no clue what Ebony was talking about at first but it didn't take but one page of reading solved that problem! And I must say the EDeN Chart will be heavily used on my end. Ebony Love is a fantastic author! Her writing is so easy to read and understand, it's like she's right there with you! I just can't say enough about this book! Of all the hundreds of quilting books I have this book (The Big Little Book of Fabric Die Cutting Tips) will be the one I use the most and will probably wear it out! I also love that it's spiral bound!

5.0 out of 5 starsRead this book before you buy a die cutting system!
By M. Kennedy on November 22, 2012
Format: Spiral-bound
Ebony Love has written a well organized, easy to read book on selecting and using a die cutting system. Anyone who is contemplating buying a die cutter should read this book to understand the options available in order to make the best choice of systems. Anyone who has just purchased a die cutter should buy this book for hints on how to cut accurately, and how to organize and maintain dies including how to mark dies to get so much more use out of them than just the one shape each one typically contains. As far as I know, this is the only comprehensive unbiased source of this information.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for Quilters who Die Cut!
By Katrina on November 14, 2012
Format: Spiral-bound
If you are a die-cutter or a want-to-be die-cutter quilter this is the book for you! You will want this book if you are a new quilter or an experienced quilter. Die-cutting is the way that quilting is going and we all need a reference to take us to the next step - this book is it! Ebony has outlined the differences between the machines and also which machine suits each quilter - since we all have different needs. There are sections in the book for just about everything including; how to reduce fabric waste, the consumables and the EDEN system which she originated. It is well worth the price twice over for any quilter who die cuts or anyone wanting to know more about die cutting.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust have book!
By Micki Quilter on November 16, 2012
Format: Spiral-bound
I wish this book had been out when I was considering buying my die cutter. However, even after the fact, I think this is a must have book! Ebony is great at explaining what to consider, how to work with your system, how to make the bet use of your system, etc. This is a must have book if you are considering buying a die cutting system or even if you have one and have been using it for awhile! Best purchase I've made in awhile!

5.0 out of 5 starsA Quilters Must Have
By Maryjane I Tingle on December 1, 2012
Format: Spiral-bound
If you are fabric cutting or thinking of purchasing a Fabric Cutting system, you NEED this book!! It talks to you in language you can understand about the dos and donts of Fabric Cutting and answers every question you could ever have on the subject. It's a book you can keep by your side to refresh a technique or quickly learn a new one. I read it cover to cover the day I got it. I learned so many things and was constantly saying to myself "that makes so much sense!" This book will stay on my desk so I can use it over and over again!! It s a definite "must have"!

5.0 out of 5 starsI can't believe that no one wrote this book before!
By Clyde Rhyne on December 29, 2012
Format: Spiral-bound Verified Purchase
This book is great--there's no other way to describe it.

The writing is very readable. I read it cover to cover, but is is also a great reference book, and I will be using it frequently.

I've had an Accuquilt Studio cutter for several years and it's certainly not hard to use, but the tips in this book make it much easier and more user-friendly. There are so many things to do with it that I just never thought of, and some tips that I learned the hard way.

There is also excellent information about which manufacturer's dies can be used with the different die cutters on the market.

Overall, this is an wonderful book for anyone thinking of buying a die cutter, anyone who has just started using one, and even experienced die cutters.
