Embroidery Machine Essentials: Applique Techniques FROM THE PUBLISHER
Applique designs are among the most popular designs to stitch using an embroidery machine. Mixing fabric with traditional embroidery machine stitches can speed up the entire embroidery process -- leaving more time for creating projects! Jeanine Twigg, author of the Embroidery Machine Essentials series, has invited industry expert Mary Mulari to share her creative applique. The 20 exclusive embroidery designs on the included CD-ROM were digitized from Mary's original artwork and go beyond traditional satin stitch edge finishes. As an added bonus, three of the designs are available for larger size hoops. Mary shows how to use applique designs traditionally and creatively. From Liberated Applique to Patchwork Applique and from Padded Applique to Allover Applique -- you'll have fun embroidering appliques on a variety of fabrics with decorative edge finishes.
