Feline Fanatic is right, it is the best book on machine quilting ever! So much so that it intimidated me for years, and I didn't even try to do it myself, lol. So I totally agree with QuiltE:

On that first quilt, my stitching ranged from just awful to pretty bad. To my surprise, my son actually asked me if he could have that quilt, and one of the reasons was that he was proud of me for learning something new!

I've done 3 more since then, and I am thrilled to say I can now do mediocre machine quilting, woohoo! A few more, and I might even get to "not bad", lol!

Good luck!
