Cotton Theory Quilting: Quilt First--then Assemble (Cotton Theory Series) Reviews by BookSwim Members



The author overly complicates the process of quilting as you go and relies heavily on machine embroidery to "quilt" with. While she does offer some helpful advice on bobbin work she fails to address how to adjust a bobbin tension for sewing machines with drop in bobbins (for those of us with vertical bobbins she correctly recommends buying a second bobbin case).
The projects are OK, well thought out, and the directions are clear but most of the quilts are basic squares and rectangles. If you are looking for traditional quilt designs (log cabin, bow tie, drunkard's path, etc) this isn't the book for you.
I haven't reviewed the three other well known quilt as you go books yet but here are the titles for those who are interested:
Quilt-As-You-Go by Sandra Millet
Reversible Quilts: Two at a Time by Sharon Pederson
Crazy Shortcut Quilts by Martguerita McManus (NOTE: this is different from crazy quilting)
Happy quilting!
