Summary: A Complete Reference Book
Comment: If you want detail for every step of the quilting process, this is the book for you. It tells you what size needle to use for piecing vs. quilting; type of thread; types of batting; fabric quality; stitch length; how to determine the grain of the fabric; how to press seams; how to assemble a quilt; quick tips for cutting and sewing; how to make borders; the best way to fold and store a quilt; how to create articles other than a bed quilt (purse, tote bag, place mats, pillow covers, table runner, clothing); what equipment you need; how to organize your work space; how to move a full-size quilt through your machine. I took my highlighter and went crazy. It could be a bit daunting for a beginner so I would pair this book with Marsha McCloskey's "Quick Classic Quilts" (for traditional quilts) or with Margaret Rolfe's "A Quilter's Ark" (for contemporary foundation quilts with animal designs). They have much abbreviated instructions that would be easier to follow for a first-time quilter. Then I would use "The Quilting Bible" as a reference to make sure I understood the techniques to get truly professional results.

Summary: Another excellent sewing reference from Singer!
Comment: I think this book is great! I borrowed a friend's, and I just can't give it back! I have done some quilting before, but have learned so much more from this book. Great photographs - and very helpful information. I highly recommend this book for any quilter!

Summary: Not for beginners!
Comment: I am a complete newbie to quilting...in fact, I haven't even made one yet. I read through this entire book and felt so overwhelmed and lost at the same time. I feel it is a bit over a newbie's head but probably excellent for a person who has quilted before. It has beautiful photos of various quilting patterns and is written in a very concise manner. I am only disappointed in the fact that I would consider a "bible" to be basic enough for anyone. I am going to purchase another book instead...called "Quilts, quilts, quilts The complete Guide to Quiltmaking" by Diana McClun. Everyone I know who quilts has recommended it to me.
