Product Description:
From selecting various materials to making the final fold, this handy guide explains in-depth the keys that separate award-winning show quilts from the rest. Newcomers to the show world will learn how to improve upon basics such as blocking and adding a sleeve, as well as how to make machine quilting look like hand quilting. A wide range of contributors—including some of the nation’s best quilters, a quilt appraiser, and multiple professional judges—all contribute trade secrets to winning competitions and avoiding common mistakes. With a bonus DVD demonstrating how to perform specific techniques, novices and seasoned show quilters alike will be able to produce top-quality quilts with ease.

Still, the information is interesting and I did learn a few techniques that could translate to a home machine.

Entering competitions is a scary concept. You are putting yourself out there for other people to judge, and that isn't often comfortable. Therefore, you want to do your best. Karen is utterly amazing at making sure that, when you are ready to enter your quilt in a contest, you are actually "ready". You know that you are entering a quilt that is not only beautiful ...
