一本好書/A good book

我最近從圖書館借來一本好書 ﹐書名是That Perfect Stitch by
Roxanne McElroy。這書對於拼布新手和有經驗的拼布人也很有用的。書裹不單只是介紹用手壓線的技巧還提及布﹐針﹐線﹐壓線框﹐鋪綿的選擇等等﹐有對於各種品牌作出比較﹐看那一種適合用作以手壓線。另外﹐她自己研制了一種指套﹐聽說很多用家都說超好用﹐可是價錢很貴啊﹗最平宜的也要美金$45。用家的評語是用它來壓線不會手痛和比較用傳統的指套可以壓線的時間長而且可以避免患上"腕骨肌肉病變"。這真令我有點心動耶﹗


Roxanne Thimble 

I recently borrow a good book from library called That Perfect Stitch by
Roxanne McElroy. This is good for beginner and advance quilters as well.  The book not just introduce about hand quilting technique, it also mention about how to choose cloth, needle, thread, quilting frame and batting.  There are comparison between different brand names that best suit for hand quilting.  The author also invent her own brand of thimble.  The users seems have good comment on it but the price is really expensive.  The cheapest one is cost US$45.  Users comment that there is no pain in hand when using this thimble to quilt and can quilt much longer than the traditional one plus the bonus of avoiding carpal tunnel diseases.  This really a temptation for me though !
