Ditto, for the last 9 years this has been my go to book, it encompasses everything from, applique, traditional, backing, binding, machine quilting, and also gives you a lot of charts and discusses threads batting etc. You will not find a more complete book. there are a few nice ones out there, but I have looked at them all and this one is the best written and illustrated IMHO
