      Free-Motion Machine Quilting by Don Linn is a wonderful book! Mr. Linn begins by giving you information about threads, tension, needles and a list of tools that he finds helpful. He talks about marking and how to baste your quilt sandwich together, such as using pins. Free-Motion Machine Quilting gives instructions about where to place your hands while quilting. From here, Linn starts a quilter using simple designs and working up to more complicated ones.While reading this book, I felt an insurgence of hope and the feeling that I could achieve more in my quilting attempts; a knowing that with practice, I could do the complicated patterns. It seems as if Mr. Linn is looking over your shoulder telling you that you are doing a good job, while gently making suggestions and very mildly pointing out the problems, and how you can fix them in the future.I would recommend this book to all machine quilters, beginners and the more advanced. I wished I could have had this book when I was doing my first attempts of machine quilting. It should encourage everyone who reads this book!
