"The no-mark approach to quilting opens the door to a new level of freedom in machine quilting... The exciting designs will inspire even the timid beginner to drop the feed dogs and play!"

—Laura Nownes, Author and Quilting Teacher

"Hooray for Kathy Sandbach! She's taken the fear and the mystique out of free-style machine quilting! Once you follow her simple, clear guidelines on machine setup and supplies and how to hold your hands, you'll look forward to the 'quilting part' of your projects; no longer will quilting be an afterthought..."

—Margaret Miller, Author and Quilting Teacher

"I was relatively new to quilting when I first learned Kathy's technique. Her 'no-marking' approach to machine quilting made it relaxing and very rewarding. Kathy's style gave me the freedom to play with my machine quilting and break the rules. The results are always beautiful, and it's so much fun!"

—Maura Grogan, Student of Kathy Sandbach and Quiltmaker
