5.0 out of 5 stars Easy instructions for the quilting impaired!, April 21, 2000

This review is from: Machine Quilting Made Easy (Paperback)

I'm a self taught quilter who had almost given up on machine quilting! Ms. Nobles walks the reader through the process of various types of quilting patterns with step-by-step instructions. She privdes the reader with information on needle types, use of different threads. What I appreciated most was that the book encouraged me to continue to work on new techniques and not give up when I didn't master it the first time. This book has greatly enchanced my quilting skills!

This review is from: Machine Quilting Made Easy (Paperback)

I thought I could never learn to machine quilt, but this book lives up to its name--Machine Quilting MADE EASY. I bought it when it was new and refer to it over and over. There are easy-to-understand directions, fun exercises to practice on, and charts of needles that go with specific threads. The author is very encouraging that all it takes is practice and YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent BEGINNING Machine Quilter Resource, March 28, 2005

This review is from: Machine Quilting Made Easy (Paperback)

If you can only get 5 books to teach you all about quilting, this should be one of the 5. It is an excellent source for a new to quilting-TOTALLY beginner. As the other reviews here say, if you have some machine quilting under your belt (hands) than this will somewhat be redundant.
The way the book is laid out and written is superb. Easy to understand in laymans terms, very good glossary and again as mentioned in one other review, the thread and needle charts are very good and pertinent to continuing up the ladder in machine quilting. This book gives you step by step detailed instruction like following a pattern. The pictures are clear and just what she is talking about, you don't have to decipher anything.
If you know someone who is wanting to start machine quilting or you are going to self-teach yourself this art. This is the book to buy.
Best quilting wishes.
