5.0 out of 5 stars 40 designs, June 22, 2007

This review is from: Twice Quilted: Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Little Box Of...) (Paperback)

I have done simple machine quilting such as stitch in the ditch and my own free motion quilting but I have never followed a pattern as I thought it would be too hard. Twice Quilted show me I was wrong and gives me the tools I need to learn to follow a pattern.

There is a book that takes you through the process and 40 patterns. The book explains what supplies and equipment you will need, how to modify the patterns so you can create your own designs and how to stitch the designs. There are tips on free-motion quilting and lots of graphics for us visual minded quilters!

Grab some tracing paper or tear away stabilizer, a marking pen and your quilt top and have a ball. Don't let "tradition" hold you back. Do your own thing and make your quilt really yours!

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding instructional, September 5, 2007

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Twice Quilted: Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Little Box Of...) (Paperback)

Glorianne Cubbage's TWICE QUILTED: CONTINUOUS-LINE QUILTING DESIGNS offers up some twenty sets of patterns with over 40 designs in all for both traditional and themed motifs, and discusses the special attributes of continuous-line design. Instructions in this kit include directions on how to trace, transfer and sew the designs: while the box format lends more to personal quilter's acquisition than library lending, it does provide an outstanding instructional highly recommended for any newcomer to the continuous-line process.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Perspective On An Old Idea !!, August 7, 2008

This review is from: Twice Quilted: Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Little Box Of...) (Paperback)

After seeing the author on a quilting show demonstrating this technique, I simply had to learn more about it. I was not disappointed in purchasing this book. I feel that it is a "must-have" addition to any quilting library. It consists of a book and fold out patterns.

It empowers you to do more free motion quilting on your sewing machine and I think this idea needs more exposure.

Once you grasp the idea of making two passes....the first placing the "flowers" or central motifs around the quilt, then the second pass in filling in the blank areas with leaves and other swirls and the like, then you can understand what the book is about.

The patterns in the book are more of a guide line as to how to do this technique rather than an actual "follow exactly" pattern. It gives you the concept and frees you up to follow your own ideas and placements of the quilting. I think the program I watched where she explained this probably helped me grasp the idea of this easier than just reading the book.

I am enjoying this new technique immensely, both with my regular sewing machine and also with my long arm machine. And, this is good for both small and large quilts (by doing it in sections).

Highly recommended.
