5.0 out of 5 stars Learn or expand your applique skills, 10 Oct 2007
By Barbara Rhoades "Jackie of all Trades" (O'Fallon, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
will be able to learn from and expand the skills I have HERE IT IS: APPLIQUÉ: THE BASICS AND BEYOND. It will be my Bible when I appliqué!

The very first thing that caught my attention was the fact it was done in a spiral ring binding. This allows the book to STAY open which is very important for me as I am sewing and learning at the same time. I no longer have to set weights on the corners of the pages to keep them open. As a visual learner, this is very important.

The book is arranged in five chapters which include: Getting Started - Basics and Beyond, Equipment and Supplies, Preparing Appliqué, Projects and Patterns. Each chapter is very detailed with lots of photos to guide you along with the written instructions. There are tips scattered throughout each section as well.

The Embellishing chapter is jam packed with ideas on how to add that special touch to your project. From cords to beads to embroidery, there is an embellishment that will give your piece a bit of pizzazz.

There are eight different projects but using you own imagination and creativity, you will be able to create dozens of other projects. Five are wall-sized projects and three are quilt-sized. The projects give a difficulty level so you are sure to try the project that is appropriate for your skill level. Then once you have completed a lower level, you can give the next level project a try. All the templates are full-sized so you don't have to make a trip to the copy shop.

A two-page index helps you locate whatever you need to review or learn and the final page is a bio about the author, Janet Pittman. All in all, this book is one that I would highly recommend to anyone because you can add to your present skills or start to learn how. It is definitely a book that will remain in my sewing room library.

5.0 out of 5 stars You too can applique!, 10 Feb 2009
By A. Pleasance (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book for the novice but has enough advanced stuff to make it interesting for those with experience. The author, Janet Pittman, covers the various types of hand and machine applique, the equipment and supplies you need, and gives several inspirational projects. The diagrams and photoqraphs are clear and almost self-explanatory. The instructions are also clear with lots of helpful tips which are highlighted for easy reference. The author explains so many ways of applique that I believe any sewer could find a method that they enjoy.
A lot of thought has obviously gone into the presentation of the information - for instance the fonts used are easily legible and the book has an interior spinal binding, meaning that it lays flat when open.
I had borrowed this book from a friend before I bought it. Having read it, I wanted to keep it!
