I totally agree with you and read about her technique forever ago in Women's Day Magazines and that's how I got started finally managing my quilting by hand quilting in panels but her book adapts it beautifully to machine quilting. I recently purchased her book so I can help a few ladies in my quilt chapter figure out how to do it too as they feel they can't quilt on their sewing machines and it's getting too expensive sending them to professional long arm quilters.
