Embroidery Machine Essentials Quilting Techniques

Back Cover Information

Quilting using an embroidery machine is a great way to finish quilts. The automated stitches of an embroidery machine and its ability to hold layers together make it perfect for quilting.

Jeanine Twigg, author of Embroidery Machine Essentials series, invites industry expert Linda Turner Griepentrog to share her quick-to-stitch quilting techniques. Linda shows you how to achieve success with the time-saving use of your embroidery machine.

The 20 exclusive designs on the included CD-ROM were created by Linda to help develop your embroidery machine quilting. As an added bonus, each design is available in several sizes and multiple stitch variations for your quilting convenience! The designs can be used for quilting (joining the face fabric, batting, and backing layers), embellishing blocks, or for non-quilting techniques, including embroidery on garments, paper, and even metal!

And, Linda gives step-by-step instructions for 12 projects, including a handbag, baby quilt, and wallhanging, that incorporate machine embroidery quilting techniques. Enjoy!

Embroidery Machine Essentials Appliqué Techniques

Back Cover Information

Appliqué 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 appliqué. 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 appliqué designs traditionally and creatively. From Liberated Appliqué to Patchwork Appliqué and from padded Appliqué to Allover Appliqué—you'll have fun embroidering appliqués on a variety of fabrics with decorative edge finishes.
