Show Me How to Machine Quilt: A Fun, No-Mark Approach [Paperback] Review

Myth breaker #1
I've been quilting for 26+ years since I was a kid.Back in the 1970's the Quilt SNOBS filled the world with the ridiculous idea that ONLY hand quilting made an authentic quilt.Thanks to the Gene Autry Museum who put on a WONDERFUL show in the mid 90's dedicated to the years of machine quilting ever since the original HAND CRANK machines.American women aren't dumb, they wanted to finish as many quilts as possible with their precious time so they of course chose to USE machines.
Myth breaker #2.. So you spend $45 for a 6 hour class to learn how to machine quilt only to find that the crux is put a brick on the peddle and just keep moving.Yes it is THAT easy.
This book takes you FINALLY past all the myths and has you looking at the patterns and FREE MOTION drawing using the needle.I NEVER stipple my quilts any longer to fill in areas, I picked up a willow leaf pattern from this book that alone was worth the purchase of this book.
The hardest thing about machine quilting is remembering to RELAX, this is a hobby you love so REMEMBER to enjoy yourself with this step of quilting as well!!!!

Product Description:
A MUST HAVE for every machine quilter. At last, a detailed road map to skilled machine quilting, written by one of the top quilters in the field. Distinguished quilter Diane Gaudynski serves up a practical new approach to quilting by machine. Based on her popular machine quilting series in American Quilter magazine, this book gives readers the ins and outs of creating a design that instantly improves accuracy and fluidity of line. This international prize-winning quilter, author, lecturer, and teacher debunks six common myths about machine quilting. Holding nothing back, Diane includes techniques for several charming unmarked free-hand, free-motion designs, such as 'headbands,' 'bananas,' 'Dianeshiko,' spirals, leaves, fronds, and clamshells. Quilters will especially enjoy the author's detailed description of echo quilting and echo-quilted feathers. Diane states her goal is to add to the quilter's knowledge of machine-quilting skills and solve some common problems. She says, 'Dispelling some myths, learning some simple aids and techniques, and tackling the job in an organized and informed way will allow you to master this most basic of machine tasks.'
