Quilting for the First Time

Thanks to the expert advice offered by the famous Donna Kooler Design Studio, anyone can create a beautifully detailed quilt. She answers all the questions and provides all the basics, from fabrics to more advanced techniques: What do I need to know to get started? How do I assemble a quilt? How do I appliqué by machine? How do I make perfect corners with paper piecing? As your knowledge increases, graduate to such advanced skills as surface embroidery, making lattice-strip borders, and combining traditional quilt block motifs. Before long, you’ll be able to produce your own treasured heirloom quilt, including a traditional Nine-patch Sampler, Amish Star Box Top quilts, a Crazy Quilt stocking, and many others.
