Book Synopsis Edges & Finishes in Machine Embroidery by : Valerie Campbell-Harding
Download or read book Edges & Finishes in Machine Embroidery written by Valerie Campbell-Harding and published by Batsford. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost every piece of embroidery, including quilting or soft furnishings, needs finishing or edging – maybe just a simple hem or binding but more often a truly decorative finishing that enhances the textile. So often these finishing techniques are an afterthought, but they should be designed when the textile is designed, should use the same style of stitching and, often, the same threads or fabrics. This book – from one of the UK's leading machine embroiderers – gives a library of possibilities, which can be used creatively, developed further and made more individual by the reader. It is ideal for the less-experienced machine embroiderer but a great sourcebook for the more advanced. Each edging and finishing method is covered in a double-page spread with instructive text, diagrams and colour photography placed together for clarity. The methods given include designs for wall hangings, panels, book covers, bags, vessels, bowls, cushions, belts, tassels and other accessories. Any modern sewing machine will do all the stitching suggested here.

Book Synopsis Celtic Inspirations for Machine Embroiderers by : Valerie Campbell-Harding
Download or read book Celtic Inspirations for Machine Embroiderers written by Valerie Campbell-Harding and published by Batsford. This book was released on 2005-08-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading embroidery authors Valerie Campbell-Harding and Maggie Grey translate the richness of Celtic imagery into fabric, textiles and stitched work using machine embroidery. The visual Celtic elements from fine manuscripts, metalwork and stone sculpture – spirals, knots, plaits, lettering, interlacings and meanders – are brought to life through designs that start simply and build up to more complex pieces. The book gives detailed information on the design process, then progresses to stitch, with plenty of original ideas as well as new slants on old favourites. A final chapter shows you how to put together finished pieces and – should it all go wrong – how to redeem an uninteresting piece. The authors encourage readers not just to copy existing designs but, through experimentation and stitch samples, to make the work their own.
