Many of the ideas and techniques in The Magic of Free-Machine Embroidery by Doreen Curran are her own inventions. This book progresses from basic stitches to advanced free-machine embroidery techniques. Each technique is described in detail and each section includes an embroidered picture which demonstrates the technique.

The Magic of Free-Machine Embroidery |
Back Cover InformationBeginning with the basics of free-machine embroidery and leading on to advance techniques, The Magic of Free-Machine Embroidery explores building-up techniques with textures and appliqué, as well as the use of thick threads, both wrapped and applied, stumpwork and fabric sculpting. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, it includes many of the author's own ideas to make embroidered pictures stand out sculpturally. The use of painted backgrounds and layers of semi-transparent fabrics add to depth and mood.
