This is a must-have instructional and inspirational book for anyone
interested in free-motion embroidery. Drawing on new material, as
well as that previously published as The Beginner's Guide to
Machine Embroidered Flowers, The Beginner's Guide to Machine
Embroidered Landscapes, Machine Embroidered Seascapes and Machine
Embroidered Woodlands, this book provides a showcase of Alison
Holt's exquisite machine embroideries. Learn how to create
beautiful machine-embroidered pictures of all aspects of the
landscape, from formal gardens and flowers to romantic seascapes,
landscapes and woodlands using various combinations of just two
simple machine stitches. Information on silk painting and colour
mixing is also included. All the techniques are broken down into
clear, step-by-step instructions, with numerous helpful photographs
and a great range of inspirational pieces. Alison 'paints' her
threads on to hand-coloured backgrounds, blending her stitches and
achieving stunning results. This book covers everything, including
the materials required; how to compose a picture from photographs
that have inspired you; achieving perspective; light and shade;
painting backgrounds; and all the basic stitch techniques you need
to know. There are stunning step-by-step projects so that the
reader can put into practise his or her newly-acquired skills.
