The Easy Guide to Machine Quiltmaking: Your complete patchwork and quilting primer with over 30 block designs

The complete beginner’s guide to machine quiltmaking, from best-selling author and trusted teacher, Carolyn Forster.

Carolyn has taught hundreds of beginners to quilt, and this book follows her tried-and-tested method for getting started. Using one classic block design (the Sawtooth Star), a multitude of inspiring techniques and a clever use of fabric, discover how to sew over 30 different star blocks with ease. Build up your skills as you go, and create a stunning and unique heirloom quilt to be proud of.

SKILL-BUILDING STRUCTURE: Each of the 30 blocks introduces a new patchwork technique that’s more challenging than the last to build your skills gradually: you’ll cover core patchwork methods that are essential for making your first quilt, and all your future projects too.

COMPLETE QUILTING GUIDE: Once you’ve made up your star blocks, discover how to put them together. There’s advice on different layout options and a complete guide to quilting, binding, labelling and more.

MIX AND MATCH DESIGNS: All the blocks in the book are 12-inches (30-centimetres) square, so it’s easy to mix and match your favourites to create your own unique quilt. Plus, with just a few quick-to-learn sums, Carolyn shows you how to turn the blocks into any quilt size you like.
