I love the Quilter Bible

I use it all the time.

Order a pile of quilting books from your library and preview them.

Thanks for getting back to me. If you could only have ONE of them, which would you recommend?

I have two or three others, had them befor I purchased this one. This is now my go to...and I recommend it to all my students.

Thanks, Linda, I found the BH&G at Books-A-Million and it's great. May try to find the other one later, maybe at a quilt shop.

also take your quilting books and have Staples office store to rebind them so they lay flat, very inexpensive like $6.00 per book
