I think I must have checked out every quilt book our library had! Some of them over and over. I love the old book by Robbie and Tony Fanning, "The Complete Book of Machine Quilting". It was published in 1980 and is dated in many ways, but Robbie has a great sense of humour and explains the whys and wherefors really well. She covers all kinds of things. I also love Diane Gaudynski for the quilting portion. Have fun!
