Sue Nickel s Machine Quilting focuses on beginning machine quilting, starting with basic supplies and machines and continuing to discuss various introductory machine-quilting techniques, and how to trace and practice patterns from the book. Three projects include full-sized quilting patterns to provide practice and tips for new users. A recommended pick, offering something different to avid quilters. -Midwest Book Review, Library Bookwatch Newsletter, March 2004

A new machine quilter: This books for you.,
By SueAnn G. Suderman (Salem, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Machine Quilting: A Primer Of Techniques (Paperback)
After reviewing many machine quilting book, I chose this one as our class book. She is comprehensive and to the point. The areas that need covering are backed by great photos and/or drawings. Many books are to wordy and the students get lost. I find her book refreshing and a good class support. My students can go beyond our class and feel successful with her guidance.

Great Primer!,
By phxwmn (So. CA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Machine Quilting: A Primer Of Techniques (Paperback)
As a beginning short arm quilter, I found this book to be very informative and thought out. Although the focus is more on the stationary machine quilting, I found many helpful tips and ideas for improving my quilting skills! Sue encourages the PPP's (practise, practise, practise)of quilting by creating beautiful practise sampler mini quilts. Beginning stationary machine quilters will benefit from the information on how to plan your quilting stategy and bundle bulky quilts through sewing machine. Illustrates many quilting patterns and how to plan for machine quilting. Includes info on various threads and importance of thread tension.. Hope I've said enough and not too much :o) ...5 star worthy!
