I AM LOOKING FOR SOME CD'S OR DVD'S ON QUILTING IN THE HOOP, OR OTHER WISE CALLED PIECING.

I WANT THE LOG CABINS AND OTHER PATTERNS. I THOUGHT I SAW A BOOK WITH ACD  ON LOG CABIN DESIGNS  BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE. DO ANY OF YOU FOLKS KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THESE DISC?

I WANT TO MAKE MY FOUR GIRLS A QUILT FOR NEXT CHRISTMAS AND THE RATE I'M GOING IT WILL TAKE THAT LONG.

I HAD BACK AND NECK SURGERY AND CAN'T SIT VERY LONG AT ONE TIME, AND THE SAD PART IS I HAVE MASTER WORKS II AND HAVEN'T EVEN HAD TIME TO LEARN IT. I WISH I COULD FIND SOME REALLY GOOD TUTORIALS ON MASTERWORKS II THAT SHOWS YOU STEP BY STEP SO THT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS I'M DOING. I LIVE TO FAR AWAY FROM MY DEALER TO GO TAKE CLASSES.

SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME ,I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

THANKS

Designer's Gallery (Masterpiece II) is a very good product.  Their manuals are easy to follow.  This video may help - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LawfZZYa2sU   

To piece in the hoop you need a design file for the particular pattern you are interested in.  Instead of the design file being an embroidery design, it will stitch around the fabric, stop and then you trim and /or add the next step and so on.

I would check the projects section at the BabyLock website or Nancy's Notions for the design files for quilting/applique.
