The book is touted as presenting a modern, experimental and creative approach to embroidery, the creator is known for her artistic style of thread projects. The book is a collection by the author of various artists’ designs. I found the ideas interesting, a springboard to projects I would like to try. To be honest several of the projects in the book were just too weird for my tastes. On the other hand I loved the idea of creating a design by printing with a stamp and embellishing the design with thread.
The part titled Transfer Methods 101 lists step-by-step instruction for seven different ways to transfer your design to its intended target. The book includes the usual introduction of materials required and explains the various types of threads that can be used in embroidery projects. It concludes with templates to recreate the projects in the book, a concise four page stitch guide, contributing artist’s names and websites, and material resources. Use this book for generating ideas. To me many of the modernistic ideas looked cheesy.
