Title: All the quilting is done by machine
Product review: The one thing you need to know before you buy this book is that it is strictly a book on MACHINE QUILTING. I feel ripped off. How can the author claim to show how different kinds of quilting look when she excludes the most fundamental form of quilting, i.e. hand quilting? Worse yet, a lot of the quilting is sloppily done. There are examples of crooked and misshapen quilting on almost every page. I feel that the quilts in such an expensive book should be examples of expert craftsmanship. Of the 60 quilts, there are only about a dozen that have any visual appeal at all. Most of these successful quilts are the ones where she did a lot of free-motion stippling, which at least adds a little depth. The author does have some great design ideas, but they are limited in execution by her dependence on the machine. You should at least look at this book in the store to see what she does with a log cabin.
