I loved this book. It was simple to read and apply the directions. I am a machine quilter and much of what was offered I was already familiar with, but my familiarity was gained through much trial and error. I would have saved myself a lot of time to have this book at the start of my efforts in machine quilting. The photos are very clear, the projects are way simple and I learned some new tricks, such as the way to make a "light" table by stretching a piece of Plexiglass over two chairs with a light underneath. I especially like how Alex freely admitted that she was afraid of machine quilting but finally just did it. So many quilters I know are in her old shoes! Thank you, Alex!

This book is the clear concise machine quilting book I've been looking for. The chapters are laid out in an approachable manner and the information conveyed in clear text. You'll have all the tools you need to get started, trouble shoot and complete your project. And projects.. there's several delightful projects in the book ranging from the simple to the complex.. something for everyone.

Hunger for more information, Alex graciously included information on other books and resources. We can count on Alex Anderson to continue to provide us with the information we need to get started and keep quilting. She's a real professional. I congratulate her on her continued success.

I was disappointed with this book. I found the samples of the right and wrong ways hard to follow on the loud print fabric. I wanted a step by step lesson process to follow. The book was more about the quilt patterns than the actual quilting. Please don't get me wrong, I love Alex Anderson and a lot of her books.

I am new to machine quilting and have been searching for some good books on the subject. After reading this book, it seemed as though the publisher wanted to use the star quality of the author to sell another book. The book is LESS than a Readers Digest condensed version on the subject of machine quilting. There is not much good detailed instruction. The best book that I have found so far on machine quilting is "Heirloom Machine Quilting" by Harriet Hargrave (extremely detailed instruction.)

I would recommend however; Alex Andersons' book, "Beautifully Quilted". She gives good instruction on how to create your own quilting designs.

I have been wanting to learn more about machine quilting my own quilts. I borrowed a copy of this book and it was very interesting and gave me some great ideas. Of course I had to buy my own copy. I found it to be easy to understand and fun to read too. I can't wait to put the things I learned into practice

This is a great book on how to machine quilt. I am a novice and have a lot to learn and this book has proved to be very helpful.

Machine Quilting with Alex Anderson: 7 Exercises, Projects & Full-Size Quilting Patterns. I have many of her books. They are easy to read and use and will not break the bank. I go over and over them always learning somthing new.
