I’m always in the market for a tip that will make my work go faster, easier, be more accurate. How about you? That’s what you’ll find in Beth Ferrier’s Sneaky Piecing. Beth shares little tips and tricks she’s picked up in decades of quiltmaking, everything from using a “landing strip” on your sewing machine bed to using 1/4″ masking tape to measure a seam allowance offset to shortcut recipes for blocks. And, once you’ve got a handle on Beth’s sneaky tricks, you can put them to use in the six projects included. You’ll enjoy Beth’s humorous writing style and her witticism, e.g., when referring to color, “A quilt that is all medium is neither rare or well done.”
