Takahashi uses a Janome DC4030 (whatever that means), but assures readers that a “basic” machine is all that is necessary. She has more of a “forties", "fifties" and "sixties" retro style when it comes to fabric, but that doesn’t mean you have to. I for one, really enjoy the vintage looks. Patchwork, Please! is the perfect DIY book for beginners and especially for those looking for patchwork inspiration.
