Quilting For Dummies (r)!
Author Cheryl Fall, with years of sewing and quilting experience, has written "Quilting For Dummies"(r) to show you that it's the will- not just the skill- that allows even beginning quilters to create their dream quilt. "Quilting For Dummies" includes tips and techniques on planning your own quilting masterpiece; choosing the right fabric; sharpening your sewing skills; and creating your own "quilt sandwich." In addition, easy-to-follow icons are sprinkled throughout the book that highlight important tips that have taken master quilters years to find out on their own.

This book includes an entire chapter of projects that even beginners can dive right into. Once you get the hang of quilting, you can tackle other projects which are more challenging but are guaranteed to get beginning quilters hooked on this great pastime! For example, the "Caribbean Dream Quilt" is lively, colorful, and will look great almost everywhere.

Learn everything you need to know about quilting with "Quilting For Dummies"! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This is an absolutely amazing book, I have had a friends copy for the last few weeks and loved it so much I am now buying my own through Amazon due to their truly unbeatable prices, If you are a complete novice at quilting then this is the book for you! It shows you step by step everything you need to know about the subject, and for the more advanced it shows you different qilting skills and ideas. This book is an absolute must!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good book, 6 May 2009
By Mrs. A. A. Eastman (Pulborough, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not being a 'dummy' I had never bought a book of this type before. This is a really good book for seamstresses who want to try making a quilt. However you do need to find a place which can give you advice and help- my local shop is in Dorking (England)
