If you want detail for every step of the quilting process, this is the book for you. It tells you what size needle to use for piecing vs. quilting; type of thread; types of batting; fabric quality; stitch length; how to determine the grain of the fabric; how to press seams; how to assemble a quilt; quick tips for cutting and sewing; how to make borders; the best way to fold and store a quilt; how to create articles other than a bed quilt (purse, tote bag, place mats, pillow covers, table runner, clothing); what equipment you need; how to organize your work space; how to move a full-size quilt through your machine. I took my highlighter and went crazy. It could be a bit daunting for a beginner so I would pair this book with Marsha McCloskey's "Quick Classic Quilts" (for traditional quilts) or with Margaret Rolfe's "A Quilter's Ark" (for contemporary foundation quilts with animal designs). They have much abbreviated instructions that would be easier to follow for a first-time quilter. Then I would use "The Quilting Bible" as a reference to make sure I understood the techniques to get truly professional results.

I think this book is great! I borrowed a friend's, and I just can't give it back! I have done some quilting before, but have learned so much more from this book. Great photographs - and very helpful information. I highly recommend this book for any quilter!

I love it. It is easy to follow and answers the most basic questions in easy to understand language. The pictures are clear and easy to follow. Well worth it.

es un producto excelente y muy util se los recomiendo es muy utilizado en todo me encanta lo utilizo mucho para como seguimientos en mis creaciones en quilting

I bought this book after viewing it in library, because it was the best book I could find that provides step-by-step demonstrations of techniques in both words and color photos.
I consider it No. 1 best book for new, intermediate, or advanced quilters. The projects at the back are wonderful.

I recently came upon this publication in a beginner's quilting class. As there was only one copy to share in the class I thought the best thing would be to purchase a copy.

I am so glad I did. I read and absorbed what I have learned in my quilting class so much better, by referring back to the taught techniques listed in this book. The easy reference guide is loaded with many practical examples and give the quilter a deeper understanding of the craft without unnecessary jargon that can lead a reader baffled.

I highly recommend this publication if you are looking for something that is easily comprehended in the craft of quilting . It is loaded with many step by step instructions too.

Happy quilting!
