Title: Decorative machine stitchery
First published: 1976
Description: There is something beautiful, mysterious, and definitely unique about a garment or accessory that has been embellished by machine embroidery. There are a wide variety of exciting machine stitchery techniques, and each has been isolated in a separate chapter in this book, showing you first the possible effects and then presenting an immediately usable example that draws on your new knowledge. In this way, each chapter builds on the previous ones and each project serves as a learn-by-doing sampler of techniques. Included with each project includes common areas of potential pitfalls, and how to avoid them. Best of all, you don't need a fancy and expensive embroidery machine to accomplish most of the projects included in the book; they can even be done on a zigzag treadle machine!
