Query: Another Mary Mulari winner!

Mary Mulari could easily be called the 'first lady' of garment machine applique and Appliques with Style is an excellent example of why she deserves this title. Not only are her applique design top rate but her directions are very good. They are clear and easy to follow, easy enough for a beginner to machine applique. Mary discusses not only what materials and equipment you will need, she has a wonderful chapter on machine stitches beyond the basic satin stitch. Mary's books are always full of illustrations and Appliques with Style also has several pages of color photos in Mary's Applique Design Gallery. If you are a beginner to machine applique or just wanting some new designs and ideas, Appliques with Style will not disappoint you! It is an excellent first book or an addition to any sewer's library.
