An instructional book for quilters and other crafters for using die cutting systems.

Do you think die cutting wastes too much fabric? Have you ever die cut a square only to find that it came up short? How can you get perfect cuts every time, no matter what system you use or material you are cutting? Learn the tips and techniques you need to make your own die cutting a success.

Written for the quilters and sewists who use die-cutting systems, and those who might like to try, this book combines the best information and expertise from leaders in the industry to improve the speed and accuracy of quilt making.

The book opens with a chapter discussing all the major fabric die-cutting systems, and then continues with chapters about dies, consumable materials, and HOW to die-cut and prepare your fabric.

Several companies produce die-cutting systems for the quilting and crafting markets; two of the biggest names are Sizzix® and AccuQuilt®. Because of the variety of machines and dies, consumers are often overwhelmed by the choices and have trouble determining which system would be best for them. “A lot of quilters don’t realize that some of these systems are interchangeable.

This 256-page book lives up to its name in a big way, and is packed with tips, extensive Q & A sections, and detailed explanations to help guide quilters through some of their most pressing issues like: what kind of die cutter is best for them; what dies to purchase, and how to make the most of them; how to use dies from one manufacturer in a different machine; techniques to reduce fabric waste during die cutting; and ways to store and maintain their equipment.

The Underground Railroad story is one of the most dramatic chapters in America's history. It's a story about how countless slaves made their way out of bondage, risking death for freedom. Runaways met up with a 'conductor' in the dark who whispered "follow me". They were guided on an arduous 250 mile journey from the South, intertwined throughout the North, and eventually ended in Canada.

The most intriguing feature was its lack of formal organisation. Accounts are scarce because of the movement's secrecy. Ozella McDaniel Williams recently shared oral history of the Underground Railroad, past down through her family for the last hundred and fifty years. Could her recount possibly be true? Were slaves really taught how to achieve safe passage just by following messages in certain quilt patterns? This book features fifteen traditional quilt blocks believed to have had secret meanings to escaping slaves.

Details on how to make 15 quilt blocks for a sampler quilt with the Underground Railway Stories behind them. Blocks include Bear's Paw, Crossreoads, Bow Tie, Log Cabin amongst others.
