Distinguished quilter Diane Gaudynski serves up a practical new approach to quilting by machine. Based on her popular machine quilting series in American Quilter magazine, this book gives readers the ins and outs of creating a design that instantly improves accuracy and fluidity of line.This international prize-winning quilter, author, lecturer, and teacher debunks six common myths about machine quilting. Holding nothing back, Diane includes techniques for several charming unmarked free-hand, free-motion designs, such as headbands, bananas, Dianeshiko, spirals, leaves, fronds, and clamshells. Quilters will especially enjoy the authors detailed description of echo quilting and echo-quilted feathers.
