5.0 out of 5 stars Embroidery Machine Essentials Piecing Techniques, January 18, 2007

By	Cindycck "Cindycck" (Rochester, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This is the 5th book in Jeanine Twigg's series on Machine Embroidery; and it is my 1st embroidery book since I purchased my machine. I will definately purchase more of her books.

Her instructions are easy to follow and there are plenty of full color photos. The added bonus of the included CD is absolutely great! Even the CD is well organized and professionally created.

Jeanine gives piecing and embroidery instructions for both the sewing machine and the embroidery machine. There are finished projects also included on the CD with detailed instructions. Any of her the projects can be printed out from the CD.

I can't wait to master these techniques and try new ones.
