Posted by Deirdre Quirk on Jan 22nd 2019
If you struggle with precision pricing and have almost given up on accuracy, or if you’re looking for a simple, easy-to-follow system with proven results, Shelley Scott-Tobisch's Easy Precision Piecing book is for you!
Shelley’s introduction says it best:
Does your ruler slip when cutting?
Do your strips have the dreaded V at the fold?
Do your seams not line up no matter how hard you try?
Do your pieces mysteriously get sewn in the wrong order?
Do you ever wonder which direction to press seams in your blocks?
Does your fabric pop up at the seam after pressing?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Easy Precision Piecing System is for you. Learn about new tools and techniques for cutting, piecing, and pressing that effortlessly lead to precision. With a few simple steps, master the fine art of rotary cutting strips, squares, and triangles with ease. Find new information about thread, needles, stitch length, and the patchwork seam that naturally improve accuracy. Discover Quilt Block Builders—block blueprints with pressing arrows—and learn how to use them while piecing to keep your units organized and seams pressed for optimal results.
The Easy Precision Piecing System has a few guidelines, involves organization, planning, and new techniques for improved accuracy. These new, simple-to-adapt, skill-building techniques will appeal to all quilters from modern to traditional and beginner to expert. It is presented in a step-by-step, simple-to-understand format. Also included is valuable information on adding borders that hang straight and a new technique for easy mitered binding.
Included at the end of the book are six gorgeous projects to sew with your newfound skills. Here are a few of the quilts you can look forward to creating with ease:
