Knitter's Bonanza! Sep 26, 2000
By Tricot Manie
I obtained this book after I had been machine-knitting for about 2-3 years, and have found it an inexhaustible treasure-trove of techniques, tips and patterns. I refer to it over and over. It's worth 10x its price. Whether you are a brand-new machine-knitter, or a seasoned one, this book will never collect dust on your shelf----you might even find yourself needing to buy a new one!

The best MK book in my library Jan 31, 2000
This book is absolutely great! It explaines different techniques with easy to follow instructions accompanied by photographs. This book is "hands on" and has helped me many a times to conquer some of the techniques that I would have otherwise never had the courage to use. Even on techniques I already (thought I) knew it gave me useful hints and tips and an insight into how to do it easier and better. Do you know the feeling when "the penny drops"? This is what is was like following the instructions of this book. It is the most used MK book in my library.

Amazing techniques Jun 11, 2009
By Dana Murphy
Susan Guagliumi came to our machine knitting guild to demonstrate and teach and was amazing. What was most useful about her talk was the techniques, her "bridging" ideas and new ways of looking at and treating stitches that you already knew about but might not have used often because they were difficult to manipulate. Even something as simple as cabling was treated in new and exciting ways with Susan's techniques. I had always considered hand manipulation a chore and something to be avoided until after her class, demonstration and the usefulness of her book. With that help, I was able to convert several complicated hand-knitted patterns with popcorn and open-work to an easy and wonderful machine knit pattern. My sincere thanks to Susan Guagliumi for thinking of machine knitting in a completely different way.

Wow May 13, 2005
By G. Wells
I am a new machine knitter and was amazed at the possibilities. Machine knitting has apparently taken a downturn with many manufacturers discontinuing products as needle knitting is gaining recent popularity. If only people saw this book first,they would never want to try to use needles! I can't wait to try many of the techniques illustrated in this book!

Clear, concise & easy-to-follow instructions Jun 18, 1998
Wow! I never realized that there are SO MANY stitches I can create with my knitting machine. Susan's instructions are thorough and the many illustrations help to visualize what the stitches will look like in your garment(s).Definitely a buy!!
