Wanted: Book Recommendation
I'm looking for a book that shows me how to properly cut fabric, attach pieces, read patterns, etc. I guess I'm seeking a quilting bible! Do you have any recommendations? I see many online but not very many reviews.
Thanks!

A book that has it all in one place is Quilting for Dummies. I got a copy from my local library before buying one. I still refer back to it from time to time. The Dummies series is great for any activity and anyone.

Quilter's Academy Vol. 1, Freshman Year: A Skill-Building Course in Quiltmaking by Harriet Hargrave
This is the first of a series, but it gives you all the basics.

"Quilters Complete Guide" by Fons and Porter is my favorite how to book. It seems to cover anything I have a question about. I have had it for a long time and it has really given me good information. I have "Quilting for Dummies" but don't use it for looking up information.
