This book contains very good instructions and lots of clear pictures showing their method of applique. They cover techniques for different shapes (points, curves, etc) and styles (reverse applique, off-block methods, ect.) Easy reading as a text book- I read it cover to cover.

This is a great reference for beginning applique. It was recommended by a cousin of mine who owns a quilt shop. There are lots of details and pictures along with great tips that take the fear out of teaching yourself to applique. It's cheaper than a class, and a reference for life.

Contains great instructions and patterns for modern applique. I love the printed patterns in the back of the book which eliminates trying to enlarge them for use as in some publications. Good book all around and I highly recommend it.

Three lovely new titles provide quilters and embroiders with new project ideas. Becky Goldsmith & Linda Jenkins' NEW APPLIQUE SAMPLER: LEARN TO APPLIQUE THE PIECE O'CAKE WAY tells how to become a hand applique expert, whether you're right-handed or left- handed. Beginners and those with some applique background will find the instructions easy - and packed with secrets of how to combine pieces, applique effectively, and choose designs.

I have been taking classes at my local quilt shop to learn hand applique and this is the one book that my teacher highly recommended to buy as a reference tool. It is absolutely wonderful and makes needle-turn applique a "Piece O Cake"

I love, love, love this book! It has wonderful instructions and terrific pictures to help you all along the way. I'm excited that I'm scheduled to take a class from Linds Jenkins who will be visiting my Quilt Guild in a couple of weeks. Now I will be able to follow along with this wonderful book. I really enjoy doing applique and hope to really master it with the help of Linda and her book

If you want to learn how to do needleturn applique, this book is a great choice. I took beginning applique classes from two different people and had no success. Before giving up, I decided to try one more time using the Piece O Cake book. The directions are very clear and show you how to do things such as points, stems and curves. This is a great starting point for your applique journey.

This book has wonderful tips and how to's for the beginner as well as the experienced quilter. The illustrations are outstanding. There are excellent tips to improve your skills and a couple of interesting projects. As a hesitant appliquer but enthusiastic pieceworker I found this book gave me the confidence to attempt applique and be successful.

Love this book, the instructions are clear and both projects are great. A definite how to book the focus here is on the applique method used in all the Piece O' Cake quilts. This is a must for beginners to applique.

I loved this book because it's explanations are very simple and easy to follow. Everything I wanted to know about appliqué techniques! The steps are richly illustrated. It's very usefull and worth it.
