Quilting inside the Lines is my preferred book on machine quilting. Pam's techniques are easy to understand, easy to build on and look sophistacated whether they are or are not. Well worth the $$. The book shows designs for many different blocks and how to interpret the patterns for other blocks. After practicing these techniques I found my skills growing quickly and easily. I practiced on paper to understand the motions and the order of sewing. This helped immensely. Most of the patterns are designed for blocks, but can easily be interpreted for borders and sashings. If you can do a meander with the darning foot, you can use this book. Some of the techniques take a little practice to master. Pam's tips throughout are excellent. Well worth the $$. Way better than a three or four hour hands on class. Impress your friends in no time.

This review is from: Quilting Inside The Lines Machine & Frame Quilting (Golden Threads) (Paperback)

Had some useful hints. Lots of patterns. Not actually that simple to follow - I kept looking for extra instructions. Would be a good companion book to face-to-face lessons, but a bit frustrating on its own.
