Loop de loop, swirls, pebbles and nesting boxes. Are those words foreign to you? If so, the author will help you understand exactly what those are and how to do them on your quilted project.

The firs 25 pages are dedicated to introductions, tools, setting up your space, how to prepare your project, thread and tension, tips and tricks and explanation of the motions. Whew! Once you get through all that, you need a chocolate break!

The next section will bring you to page 92. In between, you will find 15 projects to make using your new free motion skills. Some are small and others are larger projects so you get the feel of each. The end of the book finds three pages of basic sewing techniques and an author bio.

All in all, if you knew nothing about free motion, how to set up your sewing machine and even the basics of sewing, you will be an expert after reading this book. It is definitely one that will be in my library and a go-to for free motion questions. The only thing better would be a class with the author.

I absolutely love books like this one. Technique books, that help us all improve our skills, and not just make a project warm my heart. This is actually how I learned how to quilt. Each week I would go to our local library and check out at least 4 different quilting books. And that week, I would read them from cover to cover. Some were great, some were average, but I found the ones I learned most from, were books like this. Books that I could take the principles, and apply them to my quilts.

This book covers all the things you will need to know, to make yourself successful in learning to quilt. She covers these points:
Necessary Tools: Molly is a little like myself, a minimalist. She shares what can make the biggest impact in being successful. And, somethings she appreciates, but aren't needful. One thing she doesn't love, but I DO, are quilting gloves. She doesn't like feeling restricted, and I love the feeling of being able to grab the quilt.
Setting Up Your Space: This is an important aspect of quilting, nothing is left to chance here. And she even shares a tutorial link of how to build your own custom sewing table.
Prepping Your Project: She shares three different basting methods..{even though I am converted to only one}.
Thread and Tension: This is such an important discussion, and one that beginning quilters sometimes think is less important than it is.
Sketching: Seriously, this is the only way I learned how to quilt. Sketch, sketch, sketch, over and over again, until that muscle memory kicks in
Five Prep Steps for Free-Motion quilting: Wish I had had this list when I started quilting, I might have saved myself some headaches.
I love that in addition to teaching the methods of quilting, she also gives a BUNCH of projects to practice these techniques. These projects aren't big or overwhelming. You don't have to wait until your quilt top is pieced to try it out. Nope, here's a little project for you to practice on, and master a new skill. She doesn't take quilting to seriously either...YES! This is about learning. About improving.

This is definitely a book that should be included in your library if you want to learn free-motion quilting or....new designs! I have been free-motion quilting for a long time and I still found designs in Molly's book that I haven't done. The projects that have been included in the book makes this seem like two books in one!

A GREAT book for beginning quilters! Molly goes from basic quilting designs to a little more complicated, and she also provides patterns for the projects she uses for the quilting in this book.
