Well put together with handy hints, pull quotes and short stories that illustrate the ideas. Mostly diagrams of doing right or fixing wrongs until the last chapter which has a couple of projects.

This book is chalked up with lots of wonderful tips and techniques to fix those things that sneak up and say "nanner nanner" while sticking it's proverbial tongue out at you. The book will have you fixing any problem that can or has plagued you and caused that WIP to be tossed a side and become the dreaded UFO. Admit it we all have been there at one time or another.
Joan leads us through all the common sewing machine feet that a quilter can encounter. To common machine maintenance, tools for the trade and other handy tips are offered throughout the book. I would say this book should be in every quilters library for all the helpful information in it that could possibly turn those dreaded UFO's in to finished treasured pieces. I would definitively give it 4.75 out of 5 stars. And I can happily say that my local library now carries the book. Yeah!

Checked this book out from the library because I love the title. I'm giving this book 5 stars because it helped me on my quilt from 'l. Trying to do curved piecing on 32 paper pieced units and this book gave me the technique of pinning, pinning, and more pinning. And this works! I haven't looked into the book past that idea but that idea alone is worth 5 stars for me! Now it is due back to the library as another quilter must want it but I do recommend it!
