Reviews

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a bit dated, but the information is still good. One thing that bothered me is that all the illustrations are exactly that--drawn illustrations, instead of step-by-step photographs. It may be the only book I've read that actually explains what needle-turn appliqué is and how to do it, rather than assuming you already know. I like that many appliqué methods are included. There is a four-page color photo "gallery" of examples that do not say what kind of appliqué was used--sloppy, considering that the book is all about different options for techniques. Two and a half stars but I rounded up because it is useful information and I there is a good amount of options.
