Quilting Techniques for Beginners: Learn How to Quilt
I was happy to learn that there are ebooks available for quilting. I really wanted to get for my mother the latest in the magazines but I am not sure if we'd be able to enlarge the parts she would need to see.
I have done some quilting, some hand
Lots of tips throughout the book to help even the experienced quilters.
Excellent source of information about how to start the quilt-cutting the fabric, sewing it, etc to putting the batting in. Even the different methods of assembling it together.
Several illustrations to show you how to do certain things are very helpful.

quilt from the center of the piece rather than from one edge. General coverage of both hand and machine piecing (but nothing about choosing fabric, let alone colors and patterns), building the sandwich (but nothing about what batting to use and why), both hand and machine quilting (with statements about what needles and thread to use, not a lot of detail but useful), and making mitered bindings. That last does have a little info on fabric choice - basically, it's not very large, go ahead and try something odd. As a review of quilting, it might be quite useful. I don't know enough yet to use this book - it's not really for beginners, more advanced beginners or intermediate quilters, who have an idea what they're doing but need a reference to remind them of the steps. Possibly useful but not yet, for me. Show Less
