  • Additional filler patterns - 30 cornerstone and sashing strips plus 12 full-sized quilting patterns and a 5 background quilting ideas equal limitless possibilities.
  • Quilt as inspired - Three dozen traditional pieced blocks with 150 worksheets help identify the areas for quilting.
  • Sue's "tips and tricks" and her easy to follow stitching "suggestions" are highlighted throughout the book. She gently encourages quilters to be "consistently inconsistent."

 

Author Sue PattenAbout the Author

Sue Patten has been blazing her own trail through the quilting industry since she began piecing quilts and hand quilting in 1991. As her quilting style evolved, she plunged into machine quilting in 2000. As with every new challenge Sue faces, she embarked on her machine quilting journey with her natural energy and a hearty appetite for knowledge.

Now several years down the road, Sue has taken machine quilting to a new level and developed an edgy style that is totally unique to her. Along this voyage she discovered a new sense of fulfillment through teaching her techniques to other machine quilters. Sue now works out of her own longarm training studio in Hagersville, Ontario, Canada, where she teaches a wide range of classes to quilters on every level from beginners to more advanced. She also enjoys showcasing more innovative techniques that she is passionate about, such as "Cut Away," snippets techniques, and thread art. Not only does she teach in her own studio, but Sue is always on the move! She frequently travels throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe to educate others in the art of longarm machine quilting.
