Author Linda GriepentrogRebecca Kemp BrentAbout the Authors

Linda Turner Griepentrog is an avid machine embroiderer and likes to challenge herself (and others) by thinking outside the hoop! She was the editor of "Sew News" magazine for 19 years and helped launch "Creative Machine Embroidery" magazine. She now owns G Wiz Creative Services and writes, edits, teaches, designs and leads tours for several companies in the sewing/craft fields. When she's not working in her home office outside Portland, Ore., she enjoys all the Northwest has to offer, especially the fabric shopping.

Rebecca Kemp Brent entered the world of computerized machine embroidery in 1987 with one of the first home sewing/embroidery machines available. Her enjoyment and enthusiasm have grown along with the industry. She is a freelance author, educator and designer whose work has appeared in "Creative Machine Embroidery," "Sew News" and other publications. She works from her home office in Tennessee and spends her spare time on hand needlework—and planning shopping trips to Oregon.
