STITCHING THROUGH THE LAYERS
The Art & Elegence of Straight
Line Stitching

Quilting through the layers is essential to the overall success of any quilt and yet, oddly, is often overlooked. How many times have you meticulously followed a quilt pattern only to discover the last step is “quilt as desired”? How unhelpful! The right choice of quilting design can move any quilt one big step toward stardom or an equally big step in the opposite direction. No one wants to go to the effort of putting time and money into a quilt and then be disappointed in the result.

This book will help you decide how to maximize the ‘wow’ factor of your quilt by using the right stitching in the right way and in the right places.
