To the Reading List:


This is a Reading List for machine quilters with a special bias towards the interests of those who use a Long/short arm machine and includes both pattern/design books and technique/skills books. Many thanks go to Kaye Brown of "The Finishing Touch" for sending a list of the books in her library to help me start this resource page.

You will find a review, submitted by a machine quilter, associated with any book title that is highlighted. The reviews are mostly factual with only a small statement about how useful the reviewer found the book to be for their purpose.

Please contact me if you wish to submit a review of a book that you have found particularly useful or relevant for your Longarm business.

Please include the following information in your review:

The facts:
* Book Title
* Author's Name
* Publisher
* ISBN
* Number of pages
* Paperback, hardback, spiral bound, etc.
* Illustrations : drawings, black & white or colour photo
* Author experience (as described on jacket) and if their work can be viewed on the net (details) 
* Are the ideas for hand or machine quilting - are designs continuous line? 
* Techniques. eg: freehand, back or front of machine, tools used (stencils, rulers, etc.)
Your Opinion:
* How useful you found the book and who you think it would interest (beginner/advanced quilter)
