Amish Patterns for Machine Quilting (Dover Needlework Series) [Paperback] Review

A useful tool for the machine quilting library. There are about 50 templates including very basic, simple designs, plus flowers (lots and lots of them), baskets, stars, leaves, hearts, and combinations. Each templateis shown on one page along with a diagram showing arrows of how to sew thedesign with only one starting point. Some designs do require multiplestarting points but many are single-line (although much turning) designs.Some corner designs are shown and some attention is given to patterns thatturn a corner. About half the patterns are the kind that might be used in aquilt block (not continuous border-type designs), such as tulips, stars, orbaskets. I was looking more for new continuous-line, border-type patternsand did not see much new in that area. One page provides a detailed diagramshowing how to quilt feathers. Being more of a beginner-level, self-taughtquilter, the feathers always looked too difficult to me. But now I seeclearly how to proceed and might actually try this design!
