Those who are familiar with Jinny's books know how well-written and clear her instructions are. This book is no exception. Jinny's pioneering foray into a new technique is presented in a beautifully illustrated, easy-to-understand book that any quilter would love to own. Along with many photos of stunning quilts showcasing the soft-edge piecing technique, Jinny takes you step-by-step through the process. I was never a fan of applique until I purchased this title and fell in love with the effects of soft-edge piecing. I was also fortunate enough to take the class taught by Jinny herself on this technique, and I can personally vouch for the fact that reading this book is like having Jinny giving you a private lesson, in your own home, at your own pace. I highly recommend this book to any quilter, applique fan or not!

Amazing book for experienced quilters who are looking for extra sparkle in your designs. Not for beginning nor "make-it-in-a-day" quilters. Concepts can be successfully used in medias outside of quilting. Well written with clear explanations and examples. Plan to invest considerable time in design and production, but end product is awesome. After checking it out multiple times from the library, I knew I had to own it.

I had been trying to purchase this book for ages. A friend suggested Amazon. They had the book, in fact several.
The book cost very little,but as I live in another country, the postage/shipping, was 4 times more than the cost of the book.I purchased the cheapest available - of course! It took a good while to arrive, though within the time stated, and although it was supposed to be 2nd hand, it is in pristine condition. Needless to say I am happy with my purchase. The book is "Soft Edged Piecing" by Jinny Beyer.
