Fabulous Feathers & Fillers, Design & Machine Quilting Techniques has everything you need to design and sew your own home machine feathers and fillers quilting.

If facing a blank quilt send you running for the security of a boring allover quilting pattern, this book will cure you. I comprehensively address supplies for designing, marking, basting, and free-motion quilting. It then covers designing and quilting several types of feathers:

• simple feathers
• feathers to fit border
• feathers with curved spines
• motif-style feathers
• feathers for wholecloth

After discussing fillers such as stippling, the book describes how to machine quilt on a home machine and concludes with practice exercises and nine projects to build skills and experience.
