Quilter's Review Sampler
July 5, 2004

Piecing It All Together

Happy Birthday, USA! I hope all our US readers had a great Independence Day celebration.

This week I review Viking's Iris embroidery and sewing machine. At about what you'd pay for an embroidery machine, it's a good value.

Sophie reviews two new books, one of which will free you forever from any fear of piecing curves. And a reader shares a clever (and unusual) tip.

I'll be back in your inbox on July 19th.

'Til then, quilt up a storm!

P.S. Thinking about a new sewing machine? Save a bunch of time, money, and frustration! The Quilter's Review Guide To Picking A Sewing Machine You'll Love will help you discover your unique sewing profile, test sewing machines thoroughly, negotiate for the best value, and more. Learn more about this valuable resource here.

Practically painless, because it's practically pinless. The technique is a marvel, and the quilts in this book are marvelous as well.
