Back Cover Information

Machine quilting made easy!

If you have quilt tops galore and no time to mark them, you've come to the right place!

• 5 simple quilt projects teach you how to machine quilt quickly and easily
• Dozens of great, freehand designs to quilt without marking!
• 6 sampler quilts offer lots of ideas for using Kathy's designs in your own work
• Step-by-step instructions for every stage of the quilting process, including tips for trouble-shooting
• Kathy shows you how to see your needle as a "pencil" so you can "draw" your designs as you quilt

"The no-mark approach to quilting opens the door to a new level of freedom in machine quilting... The exciting designs will inspire even the timid beginner to drop the feed dogs and play!"

—Laura Nownes, Author and Quilting Teacher

"Hooray for Kathy Sandbach! She's taken the fear and the mystique out of free-style machine quilting! Once you follow her simple, clear guidelines on machine setup and supplies and how to hold your hands, you'll look forward to the 'quilting part' of your projects; no longer will quilting be an afterthought..."

—Margaret Miller, Author and Quilting Teacher

"I was relatively new to quilting when I first learned Kathy's technique. Her 'no-marking' approach to machine quilting made it relaxing and very rewarding. Kathy's style gave me the freedom to play with my machine quilting and break the rules. The results are always beautiful, and it's so much fun!"

—Maura Grogan, Student of Kathy Sandbach and Quiltmaker
