Pre-Owned Embellish and Stitch (Paperback) 095553710X 9780955537103

The Embellisher machine has been used by felters for some time, but it has recently exploded into the world of creative stitchers. Lots of wonderful work has been produced but there are very few books on the subject. In response to this, Maggie and Val have written this book containing a wide variety of exciting techniques. The book not only covers the embellisher machine but has lots of ideas for using felting needles by hand. It is sumptuously illustrated with wonderful photographs by Michael Wicks. This was the creative partnership's last book together, having been written just prior to Valerie Campbell-Harding's death in 2006.The book covers the basics of using machine and hand techniques, applying fabrics and fibers, texturing and trapping, pattern making, the vital use of stitch, heat techniques, felting, couching, manipulating, and weaving. Also cover ideas for using computer printouts and papers, making wire grids, distressing, and burning.
