Learn to Do Hand Quilting in Just One Day

by Nancy Brenan Daniel

Smart quilters have used the sewing machine for piecing, applique and quilting ever since it came into common use. Today, most quilters save hand quilting for their finest patchwork and applique projects. This book is meant as a technical guide to replicate a nineteenth-century-style hand quilting technique. Quilters wanting some tips and answers about improving their own technique will find many helpful suggestions. A non-stress positioning of the quilting hands is emphasized for maximum efficency and painless hand quilting - except for the occasional, too enthusiastic, needle prick.

I found the older version at a re-sale shop the other day and read through it completely.
The author is both funny and very good at explaining techniques. there are a lot of tips and tricks that I wouldn't have ever encountered if I didn't read this book.
I would suggest this book if learning to hand quilt, especially if you don't have a teacher that's been quilting by hand their entire life.
