I subscribed for the past two years and enjoy it. Loads of eye candy and every issue has at least 2 or 3 instructional articles. It is for both LA quilters and those that quilt on sit downs (domestic and extended throat).

I am letting my subscription lapse though. While I enjoyed it for the two years I got it, I found that I probably couldn't get much more out of it any more. At least from an instructional point of view, it is still a great source of quilting eye candy.

When I first started to pursue machine quilting seriously (I hand quilted before) I found these two books the most helpful and informative:

They have used you can pick up for the price of shipping!

And:

https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Machine...iane+gaudynski

Again I see used copies available on Amazon for just a few dollars. Edited to add both of these books focus on domestic sewing machine FMQ.

I think these two books will help anyone just getting started in FMQ immensely. And there are hints and suggestions in these books for seasoned quilters as well.
