For the beginner quilter I tough I had then to get the Better Homes and Gardens Quilt book at JoAnns. It is at other places too, but $19 there and you can watch for the 40% or 50% off coupons. It starts you out from basic.
Color , scale, needles r or left hand cutting. It has work pages in the book and it a wonderfullllll beginner book.
When I worked the Viking booth there I ordered them by the dozen and had then in our booth for I sold so many. I always use it for new quilter classes.
