Cotton Theroy Quilting

This is great book. The techniques descrobed solve problems, and results in an unusual and unexpected two sided quilt.

VTemple

This is a great book from Betty Cotton. It puts a whole new meaning into quilting. Her "Cotton Theory" is taught in many quilt shops. The results are outstanding. It puts all those fancy stitches on your sewing machine to good use.

COTTON THEORY QUILTING

I SAW BETTY COTTON ON SEWING WITH NANCY, I COULDN'T FIND HER SECOND BOOK ON AMAZON BUT DID FIND HER FIRST BOOK QUILT FIRST THEN ASSEMBLE. IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL BOOK. I HAVEN'T MACHINE QUILTED BEFORE BUT HAVE HAND QUILTED AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE. IT IS SO EASY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I STARTED A 120" BY 120" QUILT.(CAL KING). IF YOU KNOW HOW TO READ A PATTERN OF ANY KIND YOU WILL FIND THIS BOOK EASY, IF NOT HAVE SOME ONE TEACH YOU TO READ PATTERNS AND THIS BOOK WILL BECOME A GREAT ADVENTURE. NOT FOR THE WISHY WASHY, BUT CAN BE DONE.

COTTON THEORY QUILTING

THIS NEW METHOD LOOKS COMPLICATED BUT THE BOOK MAKES THE STEPS EASY TO FOLLOW. THUS A NEW WAY OF QUILTING.

Borrow First - Not For Everyone

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 help in working with 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!
