As I am new to quilting the free motion part

is the biggest thing I have been scared of.

However Natalia has taken the fear out of it

and really helped to see how each it can

be if you follow some simple steps.

In seeing this book I have already ordered

Natalia's previous book;

Beginner's Guide to Free-Motion Quilting.

Natalia takes you through a journey in this book.

No matter what level of quilter you are

I am sure you will be able to learn

new free-motion techniques and designs

that really will make your quilts pop.

I don't feel this is a book you just want

to flick through.

This is the sort of book that you pick up

and decide which design you want

on your quilt and you just get started.

The book isn't around long arm quilters.

This is for the home quilter who just wants

to expand their skills and designs

to make your quilts even more special.

The thing I love about Natalia and the book

is she takes you through each design

and how to achieve it but then

uses the designs and techniques to add to others.

You can build up the designs and create

a picture or feel to your quilt.

My husband complains that my designs are simple

enough and that I don't use enough

blocks of basic colour.

With this book I feel confident that I could

fill the space with free-motion quilting

and make a quilt that really does

show off the colours.

I also like the Natalia uses flashes of colour

in a quilt design and encompasses them

with the free-motion quilting to

give a whole new feel to the quilt.

This book has so much to offer to any quilter.

Why don't you see if you can expand your

free-motion quilting?
