Book Description

Series: Jeanine Twigg's Companion Project Series | Publication Date: January 3, 2003

Embroidery machines have captured the imagination of sewing enthusiasts everywhere and now Jeanine Twigg's second Companion Project Series book combines fleece - the most in-demand fabric - with embroidery! Fleece offers the perfect canvas for embroidery creativity. Twigg has teamed up with industry expert Nancy Cornwell to present another exciting fleece adventure. As she did in her three best-selling books Adventures with Polarfleece[registered], More Polarfleece[registered] Adventures and Polar Magic, Cornwell begins with the basics - covering the "how-tos" for machine embroidery success. She then cleverly explores new territories as she uses embroidery designs to create surface interest with a variety of techniques, such as trapunto effects, "embossing," applique and terrific new ways to take advantage of embroidery and fleece to create surface texture. Readers will learn how to use one design for a multitude of fleece embroidery techniques and how to create spectacular effects by using different elements of a motif.

This review is from: Embroidery Machine Essentials - Fleece Techniques: Jeanine Twigg's Companion Project Series #2 (Paperback)

This book covers almost everything a machine embroiderer needs to know about embroidering on fleece. Many innovative techniques are covered by fleece expert Nancy Cornwell. The designs included on the CD are really good and can be used in many ways. In addition, Cornwell tells you how to use the designs you already have, both as they come and by taking them apart. She also covers what kinds of designs work best for fleece. The book becomes a springboard for your own creativity.
If you already have Cornwell's books on using Polar Fleece, this book is not redundant. It expands on the previous work the author has done in those books as to combining machine embroidery with fleece.

Purchased this when I was new to Machine Embriodery and it is a help. When you are new to embroidery, you need all the self-helpers that you can find. This was another good tool.

I purchased this for some help with ideas and helpful instruction with some of my existing designs so that I can make items for the craft shows for next year. The bonus designs are great but were just that, a bonus. Most of what you buy really don't come with a lot of instruction and I have little time for chat rooms and forums. Great idea for me!
