This is the only book on the market devoted to helping quilters master everything that comes after the instruction to ''quilt as desired''. It covers both straight-line and free-motion finishing techniques (the stitching that appears between and throughout quilt blocks). As readers move from chapter to chapter, they will build their skills. It has been observed that once students finish a few simple projects and realise that this art form is not overly complicated, they want the challenge of combining stitches and more free-motion patterns.
