this is one of of the best free motion quilting book ~ everrrr!!
{hands down!}
and just to {partly} illustrate how valuable, popular, and how good this book is, it’s still being published! which is unusual in the quilting world. i can’t remember how many re-printings this book has, but it’s been lots. i still love turning to this book, and have have been using it, and also teaching and recommending it, for a decade. it’s truly a gem!
author maurine noble, title: “machine quilting made easy!”
mine is well worn, highlighted, and best of all ~ sweetly used! the photo below illustrates how to begin with a sampler of quilting machine motifs:
and another book from author kathy sandbach, from the “show me how to quilt” books i posted about yesterday. these patterns are just so lovely, especially… the flowers.
while these two, and yesterday’s as well, are just a few of my favorites, the one from maurine noble ~ is a must have, {and inexpensive, too}. i promise, if you want to learn free motion… this is “the one” to purchase. great value. fantastic, basic information. cool fmq styles. great tips. it’s not a ‘pretty’ book – but it’s all you will probably ever really need! {get it!} … at $11.36 at amazon, it’s money well spent!
enJOY~

Love the Noble book …. it is my "go to" book for basics of machine quilting.
I have Maureen's and I agree!
I've been enjoying your recommendations on quilting books. I find books a great way to learn, and might be adding to my library! Thanks for posting about them.
