Visual Guide to Free-Motion Quilting Feathers

Natalia Bonner knows a thing or two about free-motion quilting, already having two best-sellers behind her. In this book she provides clear step-by-step instructions for feather free-motion quilting for both domestic and longarm quilters. Todays contemporary quilts are often finished with modern free-motion techniques instead of traditional techniques. This book provides 68 block and border designs. Starting with single feather techniques, the book moves on to more complicated designs. Clear line drawings show how to stitch three types of feather. Then each of the 68 designs are shown with line drawings on top of a quilt and directional arrows. Superb book I cant fault it and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to master feathers.

Wonderful Guide to Learn Free Motion Feathers. Beautiful pictures and easy to follow. Thank you!

Quilted feathers have been around for a long time and although you may not think of them as a modern pattern, this book sets out to show you how they can be. By adding different elements, such as extra curls, creating unusual shapes and incorporating patterns such as pebbles into the mix, the feather design takes on a very different look. The book is jam-packed with photos, outline drawings and information on how to achieve a good result. There is also a helpful section at the beginning on technical matters such as threads, batting, and machine settings, and the author passes on lots of tips she has learned through her experience. This is a useful reference book for anyone wanting to progress with their quilting and give their quilts extra impact.
