Synopsis
Quicker and easier than hand quilting, machine quilting enjoys widespread popularity among needleworkers. This volume abounds in exactly the kinds of patterns that machine quilters seek: continuous line designs. Rather than the problematic short lines and complicated swirls of hand quilting designs, these patterns provide an uninterrupted flow, with few of the starts and stops that complicate machine quilting. Here are 86 great patterns with geometric, garden, and other motifs, plus helpful suggestions for choosing and combining patterns, fitting designs on projects, resizing, selecting materials, and basting. Each pattern appears on a background grid for easy resizing and repeat units and separate sewing paths are clearly indicated. These attractive patterns are ideal for designing bed quilts, as well as for embellishing clothing, placemats, tablecloths, upholstery, and numerous other household items.
