More About the Author
Harriet started quilting seriously in 1974, working alongside her mom. Her early quilting career included producing baby quilts for craft shows and teaching adult education classes. In 1981, harriet opened her quilt shop, Harriet's Treadle Arts. Her specialties at the time were free-motion embroidery, machine arts, and machine quilting. In 1982, Harriet attended one of Mary Ellen Hopkins's seminars. Mary Ellen's streamlined techniques and innovative design ideas led harriet to a new way of thinking, which caused her to give up the machine arts and to teach only quilting. Today, she is world renowned for being a true "mover and shaker" in the quilt world. In the late 1990s, she was voted one of the "88 Leaders of the Quilt World." Harriet created and inspired a whole new generation of machine quilters with her bestselling book Heirloom Machine Quilting, which has enjoyed 22 continuous years in print. She is also the author of Mastering Machine Appliqué and From Fiber to Fabric, and co-author of The Art of Classic Quiltmaking. She is responsible for a myriad of products pertaining to machine quilting, and she has developed batting with hobbs Bonded fibers and designed fabric for P&B Textiles.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A very well laid out book, perfect for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering Machine Applique: The Satin Stitch/Mock Hand Applique and Other Techniques (Paperback)
I found this book at our local library and liked it so well that I am purchasing my own copy. Basically it is laid out in a step by step manner with pictures of each with detailed instructions. The author even gives a list of equipment that is needed right down to the threads and needles that will give you the best results. What I really like about the book is the two-parts; one is for making wall hangings and the second part is appropriate for quilts. For me this was important so that I do not have to sort out which instructions are referring to my project. For beginners in applique this is THE book.

Mastering Machine Applique by Harriet Hargrave,

This review is from: Mastering Machine Applique: The Satin Stitch/Mock Hand Applique and Other Techniques (Paperback)
I do very little machine applique, most of
the applique that I do is the by hand variety. Harriet Hargrave is a go to expert on all things sewing machine oriented: bobbin tension, thread, care and maintenance, trouble shooting, specific needles for specific tasks, sizes and fineness of stitches, threads, needles, etc. Her designs are excellent, the illustrations are great, and her instructions could not be more concise and helpful. Despite the title, this book, the one that came before it, and those that have come after, are useful and informative for all quilters and regular users of sewing machines. There is a lot of fluff and junk in quilt literature. Harriet Hargrave is an expert and a talented teacher. I highly recommend her work.
