| Perfect PointsAuthor: Maggie Davies |
Over the past decade, Maggie has been designing contemporary Hawaiian appliqué patterns and has developed an easier method for successful appliqué. Her new proven techniques for creating perfect points guarantee success, no more frayed edges: just crisp, sharp points every time. She also takes the mystery out of those tiresome inward V-shapes, and shows you how to work invisible needle turn stitches. Whatever your level of experience, this book will encourage you to explore the endless possibilities for both traditional and contemporary appliqué designs.
Why not join Maggie in helping to perpetuate this unique art form known as Hawaiian appliqué?
