Book Description
For individuals who want to make a quilt, but can't tell a rotary cutter from a seam ripper, Empecemos el Acolchado con Alex Anderson is the book for them. This Spanish translation of Start Quilting with Alex Anderson helps beginning quilters ease into the world of quiltmaking, ensuring that their first quilt will be a success. With no templates to worry about, six simple rotary-cut projects get quilters started. The basics of fabric choices, equipment, and techniques get quilters ready to start the cutting and piecing process, and lessons on batting, basting, quilting, and binding help them finish their projects. Included are both right-handed and left-handed rotary cutting instructions, plus a generous helping of practical tips and illustrations.
Empecemos El Acolchado Con Alex Anderson: Seis Proyectos Para Principiantes FROM THE CRITICS
Criticas - Daniel Lee, Toronto, Canada
Anderson, host of HGTV's Simply Quilts, makes quilting look so easy that in no time at all you'll be putting together your very own Friendship Star or Flying Geese pattern. Despite its thin appearance, Start Quilting covers all the basics. It includes pictures of the necessary tools plus tips on how to measure, mark, cut, pin, and sew fabrics that go well together. The step-by-step instructions are easy to understand, and generous illustrations will help readers visualize how all the pieces finally fit together. Although the book covers the basics in detail, it also gives instructions for six full-size projects: the Nine-Patch, the Log Cabin, the Friendship Star, the Flying Geese, and the Sampler. All measurements are in the U.S. system. Highly recommended for public libraries and bookstores.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
