Press Reviews
In this delightful and colourful book, embroiderer Linda Miller brings the art of machine embroidery to life. Whilst this book is aimed more at embroiderers, the skills and techniques are invaluable for quilters who would like to have a go at thread drawing and painting to add texture and interest to their work.
Whether looking for a new crafting challenge, or just over-coming that feeling of dread when you know your beautifully dyed (or woven) piece of fabric needs machine-stitching to turn it into a bag, mastering machine stitching using Linda’s techniques and projects will make the job less daunting.
