Product Description

As long as readers can sew a straight line by hand or by machine, they can use the 12 patterns in this book to make fabulous quilts, and each one will be perfect the first time. Suitable for individual learning or a classroom setting, the book includes patterns carefully selected with the beginner in mind. Skills are taught in a sequence that helps new quilters learn, practice, and reinforce good technique. For each pattern, hand and machine directions are shown side-by-side, so learners can switch back and forth between the methods as they wish. Unlike other beginners' books that devote little space to color and fabric selections, Quiltmaking for Beginners provides specific guidance for each pattern, so that quilters make the right choices and end up with quilts they love. - Includes 10 piecework and two applique projects, all easy-to-make and tuned to the needs of beginning quilters - Presents machine and hand techniques side-by-side so learners can switch back and forth, completing some steps by hand, other by machine - Features information about color and fabric choices, quilting tools, and resources that many beginners may not be familiar with Lynn G. Kough is a nationally known teacher with a particularly strong reputation for teaching first-time quilters. She travels nationwide to teach at major conventions, workshops, and seminars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quiltmaking for Beginners: A Stitch-by-Stitch Guide, April 13, 2000
By A Customer
I have bought other beginning quilting books, but I really like this one. It includes simple and more complex patterns and gives you the option of machine piecing or hand piecing since template patterns are included. The patterns in this book include a wide variety of traditional patterns as well as some original applique pattern designs. The pieced patterns outnumber the applique patterns, but the applique patterns that are included are very nice. Overall, I would give this book a 9 out of 10. One thing this book is lacking is an index.

By A Customer
I really like how the book has directions for both machine and hand quilting side by side for every project in this book! I have wanted to learn both, and here's my chance! As the title suggests, this is a great beginner's book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good beginner book, January 30, 2002
By Janette W. Cooper (Troy, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thought that this book was very good for the beginner. It gives good step by step instructions and is very readable. However, I was disappointed that it did not cover paper piecing/foundation piecing.
