Back Cover Information

Embroider leathers, silks, synthetics and chiffons successfully every time!

With expert advice you can embroider even the most challenging materials with consistently beautiful results.

Deborah Jones has embroidered it all, from slipper synthetic sheers to the thickest velvet. In this authoritative reference, she unlocks the secrets to embroidering on 18 of the most tempting yet challenging materials:

  • Unstable fabrics - lightweight knits - stretch knits - bulky knits - gauze
  • Densely woven fabrics - lightweight nylon - coarse nylon - polyester satin & acetate - silk charmeuse
  • Pile and napped fabrics - velvet - terry - fleece - faux fur
  • Sheers - natural-fiber and synthetic
  • "Unfabrics" - vinyl - faux suede - leather
