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!

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.

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.

This is a great book and the patterns are wonderful. If you are new to free motion quilting this is a great place to start. You can trace and use the patterns if you want or do your own thing using the patterns as a reference. I have learned a lot and had fun doing it. Verna

Twice Quilted: Continuous-Line Quilting Designs (Little Box Of...) is a wonderful idea, and the
patterns are beautiful. However, the Cabbage rose design does not work. There is no continuous line of stitching around the rose on the pattern. The rose in the directions works fine, but it is not the rose that is on the pattern. Even my husband couldn't find a continuous path.

I first saw the author on a television show and purchased the book after watching the episode. I think the book has great quilting patterns and is well worth the money.

Because I own a stand-up quilting machine, I have a LOT of quilting patterns. I'm not sure why I thought I needed this one, but I bought it (used). It's an OK collection of quilting patterns, but not all that special. Many (most) of the patterns are theme patterns, such as birthday, holiday, kids, etc. Since I don't do that type of quilting, the patterns in the collection will have limited use for me.

I bought several of these for my Beginning Quilting students. This is one of the best ways for a new quilter to learn how to machine quilt. The thing that helps a quilter that is learning how to machine quilt is practice, practice and keep on trying. You can do this you have the power! Enjoy the passion and your quilts will be beautiful!

This is a very helpful, easy to follow guide with easy to use patterns. Very versatile. No hassle payment and delivery.
