Here's some of my books on free motion quilting. Two of the first three, Dancing With Thread
by Ann Fahl, and Threadwork Unraveled
by Sarah Ann Smith, are the best resources for beginners and beyond. Judy Woodworth's book, Freemotion Quilting
, is great too and also has idea for creating your own designs and for using rulers (directed at long arm use, but still applicable).

Quilt Savvy: Gaudynski's Machine Quilting Guidebook
and Guide To Machine Quilting
are just absolutely fabulous! Her work is stunning. And then there are three books published by American Quilter's Society chock full of creative designs to use for free motion quilting. There's Machine Freehand Patterns by Nan Moore and Quilting Possibilities...Freehand Filler Patterns (Golden Threads)
and Adaptable Quilting Designs
, both by Sue Patten. These are great for showing designs that fit into actual quilt blocks, sashings and borders.
There's a bunch of newer books out there for free motion quilting, but I haven't read them yet. One that I want to check out soon is Renae Haddadin's Fill'er Up: Quilting Designs
. She's an incredibly talented long armer and I'd love to see what she's got to show on ruler work and grid based designs.This post is full of affiliate links, which will earn me a tiny commission, at no expense to you, if you purchase anything through them.
Thanks for posting these books. I'll be checking out the ones I don't have. I love using these books as resources when I can't decide how to quilt my top. I'm looking forward to Green Fairy Quilt's book that should be out anytime now. I preordered it but it hasn't been released yet.

Renae's book is wonderful Amy...I got a lot of inspiration from it, I think you would too.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteI adore books and admire talented writers. It is a huge job to write an interesting text that will open the hearts of listeners. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write beautifully and I’m not good at technical assignments. But after I found nursing essay writing services everything changed. It became easier for me to complete assignments for our university and I began to work on my writing skills.
