Quilters at all levels of experience will welcome this treasury of designs assembled specially for machine quilting. Included are 86 patterns chosen to avoid the pitfalls — problematic short lines and complicated swirls — common to using a sewing machine to execute designs intended for hand quilting. Instead, these continuous line designs offer an uninterrupted flow, with minimal starts and stops — the perfect complement to the simplicity and convenience of machine quilting. Choose from versatile designs offering quilters an abundance of options, including a tremendous variety of border and allover patterns featuring geometrics, florals, and other motifs. Each pattern appears on a background grid for easy resizing, and repeat units and separate sewing paths are clearly indicated. In addition, the author offers helpful suggestions for choosing and combining patterns, fitting designs on projects, resizing, selecting materials, and basting.
