Machine Embroidery On Difficult Materials

Useful info that I will refer to over and over, .

Been doing machine embroidery for years on polyester and cotton fabrics, but this book expands the possibilities of using other fabrics correctly. Like this book

I just purchased a machine to embroider and had zero knowledge. The book is well written and has chapters specifically on various kinds of stabilizers and when to use them, needles to use, and various hooping methods. She tells you why various fabrics are a problem and how to troubleshoot; what to try first, etc. She does not endorse any one product but lets you know what is available. Then there are specifics for each difficult material in their own chapters. It is a reference and resource book I will be going back to constantly.

I guess I am not sure what I was expecting so I'm not sure I can really review this book very well. I do believe it is an excellent reference guide for materials, stabilizers, needles, and threads which may come in handy in the future. Not much on patterns or ideas that I remember. I honestly flipped through the book a couple of times, but not one I've spent a lot of time in reading.

My cousin told me about this book. It is a wonderful reference for anyone doing machine embroidery for personal or business. I keep it next to my machines. I really like the needle and stabilization guide. This will save you from buying too many specialty stabilizers. I wish I would have had the book 4 years ago, when I started. Embroidery.

Lots of good info for a new machine embroiderer like myself. Clearly stated with good pictures. At the back is a set of tables with concise info - needles, thread, etc. Definitely a book I'll be going back to time and again.

This is one of the best books on Machine Embroidery I have ever read. The book was in excellent condition (brand new) and at a great price. Because this book was exactly what it says "Difficult Materials", I have been able to do machine embroidery on materials I never thought possible.

This is a fabulous lift along the learning curve for anyone new to the wonders of machine embroidery. It is well illustrated, easy to understand and is a great value. Really a "must have" for folk just bitten by the fiber art bug.

Although the designs could be considered a bit old-fashioned, I bought this for practical information before attemping those less than easy fabrics! There is certainly a lot of useful advice for a beginner like me.

Good tutorial

Good if your a beginner or your ability sits in the middle. Very helpful if unsure what materials you need to use. There is always something new to learns. Good buy.

I bought this to use at a workshop for sewing on tee shirts, organza, etc. and it is a very useful book to have to refer to.

Interesting book answered some of my questions - useful if you are a beginner to machine embroidery - used a brother sewing machine
