Learn the innovative Invisible Zigzag Machine Applique method from start to finish. (FabShop News, 1/7/14)
I love this book because she teaches us how to use the invisible zigzag applique method from start to finish, and the included 11 quilt projects are truly inspiring with the unique applique pieces. She covers a variety of techniques as well, taking the fear out of trying different applique for the first time. (connectingthreads.com, 03/10/2014)
Jenifer's techniques are just one part of this colorful, appealing book. You'll also find tried-and-true practical advice on working with applique, clearly written instructions and fresh, fun projects to exercise your new-found appli-confidence. (Generation Q Magazine, 03/10/2014)
Overall the technique described is one I would definitely go back to time and again, and there are more than enough projects I love in this book to make me want to own it. (The Portland Modern Quilt Guild, 03/24/2014)
Ok, finally! We knew applique would eventually pique our modern imaginations, but we also wondered about the skill and patience required of the most traditional hand techniques and whether we'd be able to tolerate it all to accomplish those luscious shapes and infinite designs. (There is a good reason why applique is known as The "A" Word.) Jenifer solves this problem with a detailed exploration of a freezer-paper technique for creating the shapes and machine stitching. Yes, you need the book for this approach because she gives so much detail on what products work best and tips for managing the process.
Then there are the projects! This fun blend of modern, hip and interesting quilts come in mostly small sizes. The exception, cover quilt Star Bright, is one of our special favorites for its sassy use of funky prints. (Oh, in case we haven't quite sold you yet on making the investment, we should also say that Angela Walters quilted these beauties.) (Generation Q Magazine, March/April 2014)
Until recently, most quilts made in the modern style have been patchwork, but with Jennifer Dick's latest book, applique can now take center stage. It's an excellent primer on machine applique. Jennifer focuses on her preferred technique: preparing shapes with freezer paper, then stitching them using clear, invisible polyester thread. She walks readers through each step involved with lots of close-up photographs and tips to help, such as how to achieve really sharp points. Machine applique using a variety of alternative stitches is covered, but not in as much detail. Instructions and full-size patterns (on a pull-out sheet inside the back cover) are provided for 11 projects. Most of them are wallhanging size - the example shown in our photograph is 40 in. square - in keeping with the notion that, when you're learning something new, a small project is a sensible option. Hone your skills and you'll soon be creating king-sized quilts! (Australian Homespun Magazine, May 2014)
The Modern Applique Workbook, by Jennifer Dick, gives detailed guidance on invisible machine applique using freezer paper, several other machine-applique techniques, plus full instructions for 11 exciting quilt projects with a modern design aesthetic. (Australian Homespun Magazine, June 2014)
