POCKET GUIDES…
A VALUE-PRICED TREASURE!
We could not get along without one of these durable pocket guides tucked away
in our workbag. From Leisure Arts, they fold out to 11 laminated
pages of helpful diagrams and how-to's. The diagrams are especially
clear and easy to follow. 4 ¼" x 8 ¼".
 QUILTING BASICS POCKET GUIDE (laminated foldout, 11 pp., Leisure
Arts). Think of this booklet as a refresher course in rotary cutting
and machine piecing, because that's what it is. Diagrams take you
all the way through the process, from cutting templates to the
binding. We especially liked the tips on quick triangle squares, as
well as working with diamonds and set-in seams (sample page -
they're not easy!). Practical and helpful.

 CRAZY QUILT STITCHES (laminated foldout, 11 pp., Leisure Arts).
Other than the more comprehensive CRAZY QUILT STITCHES by Dorothy
Bond (which we also stock), this is one of the best embroidery
stitch diagram sources available. The extra-large diagrams and
sturdy pages let you stand the booklet up, so you can see while you
stitch! Covers 19 different stitches, plus several pages of
combinations. A real value - every Crazy quilter and embroiderer
should have a copy. (Yes, it's that good.)

 KNITTING POCKET GUIDE (laminated foldout, 11 pp., Leisure Arts).
Start with basics, including practical tips on yarn weights and
styles, even needle sizes! Then it's on to a variety of basic
stitches, 7 in all, plus troubleshooting for problems like dropped
and slipping stitches. You'll find the advice on shaping especially
helpful for garments. Excellent for an occasional review, or quick
touch-up, at home or away.

 CROCHET POCKET GUIDE (laminated foldout, 11 pp., Leisure Arts).
No more questions while you're working…if you keep this excellent
guide with your yarn. Start with gauge, yarn and thread advice, then
learn from diagrams for 18 different crochet stitches, from single
through triple crochet, plus decorative details like popcorn,
cluster and puff stitching. (We liked the shells, too.) Extra-clear
diagrams, including tips on no-sew joining sections and changing
colors, as well as practical ways to work on top, in front or behind
stitches. A good companion to the KNITTING POCKET GUIDE.
