  With the emphasis on the fun aspects of learning, this book is full of ideas for creating beautiful embroidered effects. Many of the patterns are based on two straightforward stitches which can be as easily accomplished by the beginner as by the more advanced embroiderer. The techniques of applique and quilting are covered in detail, together with many imaginative ideas on embroidery for the home and for clothes and accessories. As well as the more traditional fabrics suitable for embroidery, innovative and unusual suggestions for alternative materials are offered. A final section devoted to solving common problems as they arise, together with lists of suggested reading and suppliers, complete this book.
