Review:
Summer 2014 If you only arm yourself with one book for your journey as a machine embroiderer this will have to be the one. Liz carries through the meticulous attention to detail we have come to expect trough her projects in Flair magazine. The nine chapters cover everything you need to know to produce perfect projects. Right from the basics of what these fantastic 'sewing' machines can offer you and what level of machine would suit, through clear descriptions of the basics of the process, to what tools and supplies you ought to invest in, and which are superfluous. She also cracks the mystique of the computerised aspect so that you'll soon be happily downloading, editing and designing to unleash your inner creativity. If you absorb the background knowledge of this book and add it to the projects you find in Flair magazine there will be no stopping the machine embroidery you. - Flair This book includes types and formats of embroidery design, how to get designs off the internets and into the machine, how to stabilize fabric, which threads and needles to use plus how to get the most from a sewing machine using inbuilt stitches.
