Review by Library Journal Review

Silva, a longarm quilter who specializes in elaborate machine-quilted designs, shares her knowledge in this project-based guide. She describes the differences between using a longarm machine and a domestic one, and provides tips on choosing an appropriate model. This is followed by a dictionary of motifs, featuring close-up views and diagrams of 23 different designs. Quilters can practice their newfound skills via a series of whole-cloth projects (great for doodling and experimenting) as well as simple, easy-to-piece quilts featuring abundant negative space. A gallery of Silva's finished projects wraps up the collection. VERDICT Most machine-quilting books focus on domestic appliances, and longarm quilters looking for tips, tutorials, and suggestions will appreciate Silva's specific information. © Copyright 2018.
