Inside cover information

"It is surprising how many different types of patchwork there are.  In this book examples of all the kinds of patchwork in general use today (see back flap of this jacket) have been brought together and they present an inspiring challenge.  For patchwork has never been just a question of joining scraps of masterial but also of conscious artistry in assembling shapes, colours and patterns.

Every Kind of Patchwork contains twenty different methods of doing patchwork, from the tiny hexagonal mosaic patchwork so popular in England, to the large machined block patchwork quilts we associate with the United States.  Beyond these well-known examples, there are many tpes of patchwork which have been developed at different times and in different places in answer to special needs.  These are all described and illustrated with plenty of colour,informative diagrams and charming decorations, and in a way that will encourage readers to try their hand at a new variety of their favourite craft.

Every method in this book is accompanied by clear and detailed instructions for making templates and patterns, for construction, preparation, sewing and finishing, as well as suggestions for application, planning and new design ideas.

Apart from sewing the patches together, which can be done either by hand or by machine, many patchworks are also quilted.  Different methods of quilti8ng are described as well with patterns, diagrams and illustrations, together with accociated techniques such as padding, and knotting or tufting."
