Feathers That Fly: How to Design, Mark, and Machine Quilt Feather Motifs [Paperback] Review

Feathers That Fly: How to Design, Mark, and Machine Quilt Feather Motifs [Paperback]I purchased this book sight unseen based on the author's description.Once I received it, I was disappointed in the lack of new information or insights.Most of what is provided in this book is more thoroughly presented in other machine quilting books.The only "new" technique presented is a description on how Caryl Fallert creates her machine quilted feathers.I also found the exercises and sample quilts uninspiring. I would heartily recommend Guide to Machine Quilting by Diane Gaudynski and Infinite Feathers by Anita Shackleford instead.At a minimum, view the book in person so you can decide whether its worth spending your money on.
