Description
Quilting is one of the most versatile of modern crafts - and one of the most satisfying to master: both a traditional skill and a medium that regularly attracts the interest of contemporary textile designers. The Complete Guide to Quilting Techniques offers plenty of guidance for the novice, while introducing a range of techniques, ideas, and projects that are challenging enough for the experienced quilter to enjoy. Covering everything from fabric selection and rotary cutting, through simple and complex piecing and stitching methods, to innovatory techniques working with unusual materials and a range of quilting styles from all over the world, the guide offers enough detail to take any quilter confidently through unfamiliar techniques. Feature spreads interspersed throughout the book look at ideas for composing fresh colour schemes and creating your own designs.
