"Loved it from the first page!"
Fabrics are the center of my creative world. I have been sewing clothes and stuffed toys, etc. since i was ten, but then my grandmother got me excited about quilting. i have lots of books and fabrics now, but had no specific direction. i didn't even have a clue, why my project ventures were exciting at the fabric store, but i seemed to stall when i got the fabrics home and looked over patterns. i wanted to do more with my quilts than just ordinary blocks and plain, dull borders. i had some ideas, but couldn't "get it together". i wanted something refreshing to decorate with, and also wanted to make gifts that would be really loved by all, but not much experience in this new-to-me, area. i reviewed the book and sent for it, thinking it would be good, but with every detailed, colorful, inspiring page, it was a dream come true. it gave me the answer to a question, i wasn't even aware of: something's missing, but what? It has step by step, hold your hand, detailed instructions. it's loaded with crisp, colorful pictures, front to back, that are wonderful, - nothing even remotely boring here. like it says, beautiful borders, awesome bindings, and don't underestimate the importance of the backing. there's embellishment techniques that are awesome, and fully explained with words and pictures. your fear will dissipate and joy abounds. It has all the tools and fabric information listed for each lesson, formatted, in not only an understandable way, even for a beginning quilter, but it's beyond inspiring. if you want to stop thinking and start doing, and your eager, but unfocused, and don't know why, this books for you.

"very informative"
I bought this book to broaden my horizons as far as adding borders to my quilts go and I am not disappointed. There are so many differnt ideas in it that I will be using them for many years to come. My quilts will now be transformed from ordinary to extradorinary with not that much effort involved, just some lessons learnt from this book. The ideas which give you the chance to expand on them and make your own additions should you wish to which is one thing I like about it. The book starts you thinking, then makes you realise that "yes I can do that".

What our customer's say!

"good and not so good", this is a hard book to rate, because, while there is a lot of good information and some nice projects, there is also a major omission and some really slovenly workmanship.

as the title states, the book discusses borders, backings (this is one of the good parts, since backings are frequently ignored) and bindings (and there are several useful variations in this section).

the problem i have is that this is more a project book than a technique book. various combinations of piecework and applique borders are shown in photos and in the projects, but there are no instructions on how to develop one's own borders. it's not that the ideas are bad, and beginning quilters will find a lot of information, it's just that suggestions for designing borders for one's own projects are terse--most of the book is step-by-step instructions for making the projects.

the projects include three small quilts (the largest is 78" square) and table toppers and runners. at least two of the projects are now on my list of things to do some day.

one glaring omission in a book on bindings is the lack of the continuous bias technique. i've seen instructions for this time- and fabric-saving technique in a 'quilter's newletter magazine' from the late 80s, so it's been around for quite a while, yet it is not covered in this book. this is a major drawback. the needleturn applique instructions would be useless to anyone not familiar with applique and hand sewing.

the slovely workmanship is mainly the quilting in the photos. i'm assuming it was done with a longarm machine, because, if it was done with a domestic machine, it really is inexcusable. as it is, if i had a professional longarm quilter return my quilt with the kind of work in the photos, i would refuse to pay for it.

on one hand, there is plenty of information for a beginner and some good tips, so that i wouldn't say that it would be a waste of time to read the book; on the other hand, there isn't much for the intermediate quilter who wants to learn how to improve her designs. i wouldn't recommend it as the first, and definitely not the only, book on this subject, but i also wouldn't say avoid it. i suppose the best course would be to get a copy from your local library and see if it has anything useful for you. then check out bonnie k. browning's book, _borders and finishing touches_, which does include instructions on how to develop borders, or sally collins' _borders, bindings, and edges.' for some really interesting edge treatments, unfortunately without instructions, see sharon schamber's gallery of quilts in her book _piece by piece_.

"Beautiful Borders, Backings and Bindings", I love this book.. so many ways to finish a quilt with a professional look.. I would buy again.

"Great Tips & Projects", This book is full of great tips and projects to use your new skills and ideas.

"excellent book-Binding tips", Always loking for new ideas for quilting and binding. This book is super.

"finishing . . .aaaaah", Every project lurks around in my sewing room till it is completely finished. I was inspired to complete several more of my quilts after seeing the methods used in this book. Very thorough and great pictures.
