Editorial Reviews

Let your creativity out to play. This book shows step-by-step how you can use Paula's approach and techniques to create your own quirky, wonderful and exciting art. - Martha Sielman, Executive Director, Studio Art Quilt Associates, Inc.

Paula taught me that machine stitching can be more than a method of connecting layers with quilting patterns. It can become the primary technique for creating design elements in my work. Using stitch more creatively has helped me to make my work more complex and interesting. - Diane Melms, artist

Paula's teaching practice demonstrates a sense of rhythm and freedom using free-motion stitching which is both unique and compelling. Now I am able to interpret some of my favorite drawing techniques into art quilts. - Linda Chase, President, Board of Directors, Visions Art Museum: Contemporary Quilts + Textiles, San Diego, CA
