One of my TOP quilting books!,
By Heart To Hand (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilter's Complete Guide (Paperback)
One. of two, of my all time favorite books for quilt making, hands down. Liz and Marianne have created a book that will teach everyone some important skills. It sits inches away from my machine at all times. If I have a question I run to this book for the answers. The layout is fantastic. It starts out with a Quilt making Primer, which offers you everything you need to know about Tools, fabrics, and colors. You learn basic quilting skills and then move into direction for block drafting. Then it is onto borders, where you will find an important chart on how to calculate for borders. The book takes you through the step-by-step process of thinking, creating, making and finishing a quilt. Every step along the way there are two page classes on skills you can learn, to put into action the tricks they just taught. Then you move beyond basic patchwork to more intricate techniques. The patterns range from easy to more complicated and remove the risk element on new techniques while you learn different block construction skills.

Wonderful Book...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quilter's Complete Guide (Paperback)
When I decided to learn to quilt recently, I ordered a number of quilting books. This is by far the most useful comprehensive guide. I love this book! I've been working my way through it. Each chapter presents a different technique and shows how to make a block or small quilt to practice the technique. Reading ahead, I can see that even after I work my way through it, I'll be consulting this book for years to come. The instructions are easy to follow, with numerous diagrams and pictures, and it has ideas for almost any type of quilt you'd like to try. I very highly recommend it.

Review for Quilter's Complete Guide,
By Jean Sword (Harrisonburg, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilter's Complete Guide (Hardcover)
This was among my first books as a new quilter. It's been excellent. First, I like the hard-cover format, because it has spiral binding & I can leave it open to review as I work. Simple, detailed instructions & tips for each step of the quilting process, both machine & hand-work. Includes easy-to-read charts for measuring fabric, speed-cutting & piecing. Gives detailed instructions for more advanced techniques. Plenty of projects, from simple blocks, wall-hangings & quilts. I'll continue to refer to this book for years!
