180 Doodle Quilting Designs: Free-Motion Ideas for Blocks, Borders, and Beyond

The illustrations are excellent along with step by step instructions! Can't wait to use it!

I've really enjoyed this book..it's amazing..Best money I've spent lately.

Nice book. Good designs.

Bought this book as a gift. I don’t quilt so I know nothing of the quality of the content. The book was listed as “new,” however, it seems to be lightly used. The back cover has a bend in it and all along the edges and corners, the cover has slight damage. This may be “new” in the sense that no one has owned/read this book, but it appears to have quite a bit of “shelf wear.” Had I known this wasn’t brand new, I wouldn’t have spent what I did on it to give it as a gift.

I have been experimenting with free-motion stitching for a couple of years. I have primarily used it as a form of free-motion embroidery but have wanted to learn how to use it in my quilting projects as well.I have been both hand and machine quilting for decades but on a casual basis, so I consider myself still an advanced beginner or maybe even intermediate at this point. I needed some guidance for how to start with the free-motion quilting process (which is definitely more structured than free-motion embroidery.) When I saw this quilting tutorial book, I bought it immediately as it seemed to be the answer for my needs.It is all of that and more. The book is filled with lots of embroidery patterns that can be traced or used for inspiration. Each of the patterns gives a short blurb on where or how it can be used. There is also a short tutorial at the beginning of the book which walks you through tracing, free-hand doodling, and finally practicing the patterns on your machine.I currently have a mechanical sewing machine set up with a low tension bobbin for use in free-motion stitching. It's a dream of mine to someday own a long-arm machine as well. I was really happy to read another reviewer's comment that these patterns can be utilized in long arm stitching, too.All in all, the book answers my needs and does it with lots of patterns for me to have fun trying. I'm looking forward to many hours utilizing the information in this book and find it a really valuable tool.

Use book for quilting instructions.

Super!

Very basic book of design. Good for beginners, don't bother if you're an experienced free motion quilter. Nothing new.
