SUMMARY- When I saw how important having the template set for this book was, I immediately had misgivings. Those books that need a set of plastic templates that were sold separate from the book are not going to survive well against the test of time. But I was worried for no good reason! She provides full-size drawings of the template sets needed for this book in the back, so you can make your own no matter what century you're from - it was just more convenient to buy the sets if you picked up the book while it was in print. She takes strip piecing to a new level that delivers spectacular results. Piecing a curve is not as difficult as you would imagine and a little practice will make you confident quickly. I recommend this book.
