Embroidering with a sewing machine is exciting, immediate and
affordable; this practical book shows you how to do it. Packed with
encouraging advice, it introduces the sewing machine before
explaining how to design, plan and make your own embroideries and
turn them into finished items to treasure. Topics covered include:
learning how to set up the machine and carry out basic cleaning and
maintenance; discovering which thread types, fabrics and mixed
media elements are most suitable for machine embroideries;
exploring how to use the pressure foot to turn functional utility
stitches into exciting surface decoration; working freely with
dropped feeder teeth and an embroidery foot, and learning how to
alter the tension to create different effects and finally, using
soluble film to enhance your pictures, and stitch realistic thread
paintings of landscape, animal and bird embroideries. With over 900
colour photographs and illustrations, it is the perfect companion
for both those new to machine embroidery and those looking for new
ideas and inspiration.
