This review is from: Quilting The Complete Guide (Spiral-bound)

Many basic quilting steps are explained. However there were many steps on handpiecing, aplique and finishing with curved edges that I had never known how to do. This book will help me as I progess in my quilting. Teaching me many different methods.
