Instructions on how to overcome fear of sewing curves

Curves --- that cursed word that means we have to sew a line that is not straight! Are you like me and just won't do a quilt pattern that has curves? If so, this book gives you suggestions on how to get over the fear of curves. A dozen pattern and all the templates you need are incorporated into this book. Ms. Kelly begins the book with twelve pages of explanations on how to get comfortable sewing a curved seam. Then the twelve patterns follow with fabric selection tips and cuttings suggestions for each. The material and cutting lists are clear and get you ready to sew. Graphics help you visualize what the instructions tell you. Assembling and finishing instructions complete the pattern. Don't forget to take a look at the color photo of the project which also gives the finished quilt and block size. A page of resources helps you find any of the materials or tools you might need. The final page gives an overview of the author.
