Appliqu?© Made Easy
The word, appliqu?©, comes from French and Latin and means to sew or attach one piece of fabric on top of another piece. In this way, appliqu?© quilts differ from pieced quilts which are made by sewing together numerous pieces of fabric edge-to-edge.
Appliqu?© Made Easy is an excellent handbook for exploring appliqu?© quilting. It is comprehensive and thorough, covering both hand and machine appliqu?© techniques. Demonstration photographs and quilt shots of appliqu?© work are all in vivid color. Recommended supplies are listed for each appliqu?© technique described. A section called "The Stitch Sampler" delineates the various stitches used to create appliqu?©.
CyberFibres has a special appreciation for the inclusion of an Index in a book on fibrework. Appliqu?© Made Easy provides the reader an Index and an Appliqu?© Glossary, in addition to the standard Table of Contents section. These are wonderful aids to the fibreworker who is seeking information and inspiration without the frustration of having to hunt through a poorly referenced manual.Appliqu?© Made Easy is it
