backporchquilts Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have a short arm machine and wondered if Darlene Epps Pocket Guides would be helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoryJM Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think they'd be helpful on any machine. She gives you so many ideas for quilting...they're wonderful books to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Most definitely....they will help with any make model or style...you are in total control of the size of the designs....so any sized machine will work. Even your regular DSM you can still get ideas, its just a bit harder on your shoulders when the day is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Absolutely! These designs can work on any size machine. I love those little books... they live right on my quilting table and are always in hands reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backporchquilts Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Great!! Thanks, I'll make the pocket guides my next quilting purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I agree, too. I bought them when I was quilting on a New Joy frame with a Brother 1500S. Now I use them with my Liberty. The type of machine doesn't matter. In fact, her ideas can be used with a domestic machine, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boni Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I just received Darlene Epp's Pocket Guide to Freehanding Heirloom Feathers, Freehand, Formal & Fanciful. WOW! What a lot of great techniques and ideas. I haven't even gotten into the workbook, and I can hardly wait. This is all about timing--I've been drooling over all the beautiful feathers out there, and I'm not very patient to sit and digitize feathers---What a chore! Besides, there are so many you can do freehand! Thank you Darlene for such excellent "pocket" books for us to use. Yes, of course I'll be posting pictures of PPP. Funny story: DH picked up the mail and on the UPS priority envelop (it went to our PO box) there was in red type "Extremely Urgent". He phoned me as he was on his way to Portland, "Honey, do you need this right away, or can I continue to Portland and bring it to you tonight?" You know how hard it was for me to not say yes?
