Quilting Back to Front: Fun & Easy No-Mark Techniques

Brilliantly simple in concept, Larraine Scouler's Quilting Back to Front completely eliminates the need for quilting stencils and marking templates to transfer quilting patterns. By using the design printed on the backing fabric as the basis for the quilting pattern, quilters can save hours of marking time, can avoid the frustration of trying to mark dark or busy-print quilt tops, and can achieve interesting, unexpected vitality in their quilting designs. Scouler explains her methods clearly, with attractive photos and nice examples, and the technique works equally well for both hand and machine quilting. --Amy Handy
