Format:Paperback
This is quite an interesting little book. It has clear pictures and descriptions but is really an explanation of how this particular artist makes her work, rather than an introduction to machine embroidery in the wider sense. Beginners will find the small projects fun and easy to acheive. It covers all the basics to get you started but really has little, if anything to offer experienced stitchers. That said, if you have no experience in free motion embroidery, this could be a good place to start.

I was looking for a particular style of book for machne embroidery; and when I saw this book advertised, I realised that I loved Linda's particular style. That first caught my eye. When I received the book, I was very pleased to see a step by step approach, which although I had a fair idea about what to do, Linda broke down the projects for beginners to handle. I would say it is an excellent book for both beginners and those who have some knowledge but want to develop their own style. And she makes it look FUN!!!!!

This book is a gem! There are a lot of textile books available, many of them truly luscious to look at, but which leave you wanting (they will show you a beautiful photograph of a gorgeous object without it being clear how the object was created). This is different. Without being in any way patronising, Linda gives you full and complete instructions from beginning to end - illustrated with wonderful, remarkably clear and detailed photographs. If you are new to machine embroidery or experienced but looking for a new direction I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
