Synopsis
This guide to free machine embroidery begins with the basics before progressing to more advanced techniques showing how to create a wonderful range of textures using thicker thread and applique. Illustrated by numerous colour photographs, the book offers practical advice on how to tackle machine stitches, textures and directions, openwork, fabric thread techniques, overlays and underlays, stumpwork and painted backgrounds. Two simple basic charts show the reader how to achieve the basic stitches and how they can be used creatively to produce unique pieces of work.

About the Author
Doreen Curran studied art and design at Norwich Art School in England before leaving for Australia in 1948. She has lived in Sydney ever since, integrating her family life with her working life of selling and marketing. When the opportunity arose, Doreen resolved to revive her earlier interests in the creative world by studying ceramic sculpture, figure drawing, cake ornamenting and stained glass work. It was not until she enrolled in the commercial Needlecraft Certificate course at Dover Heights College of Technical and Further Education that she found the right niche. Since gaining the Certificate (with distinction) she has won prizes and acclaim for her work. She has exhibited with the Sydney Creative Embroiderers and the Embroiderers' Guild of NSW, and is a member of both organisation. Doreen has given demonstrations and workshops, has been a tutor at the embroiderers' Guild's classes, and a guest lecturer at TAFE.

MAGIC OF FREE MACHINE EMBROIDERY
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
