There are so many ways to quilt, so many systems, and not all work for everyone. However, this author seams (pun intended) to believe in the old saying..."My way or the highway". She is very disparaging of any method other than hers, bringing an assertive and unpleasant tone to the book. Certainly not an atmosphere conducive to learning, especially something that can be so enjoyable. I'm sorry I wasted my money!
