Leisure Arts-Quilter's Complete Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)One. of two, of my all time favorite books for quilt making, hands down. Liz and Marianne have created a book that will teach everyone some important skills. It sits inches away from my machine at all times. If I have a question I run to this book for the answers. The layout is fantastic. It starts out with a Quilt making Primer, which offers you everything you need to know about Tools, fabrics, and colors. You learn basic quilting skills and then move into direction for block drafting. Then it is onto borders, where you will find an important chart on how to calculate for borders. The book takes you through the step-by-step process of thinking, creating, making and finishing a quilt. Every step along the way there are two page classes on skills you can learn, to put into action the tricks they just taught. Then you move beyond basic patchwork to more intricate techniques. The patterns range from easy to more complicated and remove the risk element on new techniques while you learn different block construction skills.

The Electric Quilt Co. Quilt Design Wizard- Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Quilt Design Wizard is a very simple to use quilt design program that I am thoroughly enjoying. Let me share with you the features:
-200 quilt blocks to choose from
-3000 fabrics to choose from
-lay out blocks in standard rows or on point
-you can use a standard layout and number of blocks or customize
-sashing and/or borders can be added.
-experiment with color and block changes with a few clicks of the mouse
-print out yardage estimates, templates or rotary instructions, and lots of other goodies
-visit the Quilt Design Wizard for free montly download to get new block and fabrics
Limitations:
-200 blocks may sound like a lot, but if you want a block and it's not there, you're out of luck; also, you can't create your own block
-fabric library is big, but does not permit you to scan in other fabrics, which can be helpful for some newer quilting techniques
Overall, this is a great beginning quilt program. I love being able to try out my designs and color schemes BEFORE I commit them to fabric. However a professional designer or someone with advanced computer skills and/or deeper pockets might want to go ahead and invest in Electric Quilt which is much more complex, expensive and versatile software made by the same company.
That being said, this software is perfect for me, since I like to keep things simple when it comes to computers. I can design a quilt and easily play around with the color scheme, arrangement of blocks and dimensions. This software is very simple to use and has already been lots of fun and help to me. I'm delighted with this software and will recommend it to my friends.

Distinctive Premium Even Feed Walking Sewing Machine Presser Foot with BONUS Quilt Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Relatively inexpensive considering all the machines it can attach to. I use a very old model Singer and it screws on just fine. The guide doesn't have measurements on it and is just held in place by friction, so a rough jostle can slip it out of position. I might use a sharpie marker to mark the guide for different parallel widths.

Brother SA107 Walking Foot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For anyone who owns a sewing machine, I would say this foot is a MUST HAVE. There are times when nothing else will substitute.
I am a seamstress and own 6 sewing machines. Two I have lent to daughters, so I have three I use alternatively, depending on my project, plus we have a heavy-duty machine. Recently, my husband purchased a Brother. I was surprised and asked him why he did that since we already have four other machines.
He is a boat-builder and wanted to try his hand at sewing the sail for it. He purchased the Dacron sail-cloth. It is such a heavy-weight processed cloth that pinning it is next to impossible. He discovered a specialized double-stick tape that works, but it is so slippery, the poor little Brother machine was not able to handle this alone, so I purchased this walking foot.
It has made all the difference. I have a picture of him on the floor, sail cloth surrounding him, taking up most of our front room, foot pedal in one hand, along with the cloth, the other hand behind the machine, feeding the cloth through as he sews this difficult piece. I am so proud of him for his efforts and excellent work. He truly feels he couldn't have done what he did without that walking foot.
To my husband I say: Well done, Friend.

(More customer reviews)It works as expected and my wife is happy with it. She has another one that has a fork attachment that fits over the needle screw. This one just has a bar that rides on top of the screw, but it works as well as the other one.
