Linda Franz is the inventor of inklingo......a method of printing patterns onto fabric via printer .......anyway, she also had authored several books, this being one of them. I don't know what beyers method is, nor do I know if franz's is different.....she uses freezer paper as templates....and I'm guessing this book was prior to her print on fabric method...just wonder if anyone here has book/DVD...she also has a cd connecting to EQ for this method, and if anyone here has or is doing......I'll just do a block----actually diamond----and see.
