Sharla's Comments:Maggie Grey in Raising the Surface with Machine Embroidery covers all the new and exciting products found on the market and a few from the recycle bin too. These ideas can be used to enhance the build up and encrust the surface of any quilt, altered book, fiber art design and more. Every page I turned revealed yet another wonderful idea of rich visual excitement. The books seems to be an unending resource for learning to use Angelina Fibers, glue gun, heavy embossing enamel powders, computer fabric printing, softsculpt, polymer clay, wire messing, chop sticks and and and ..... then build up with threads, threads and more threads. A true resource that will never grow stale.
