Product Description

Product Description

Curve stitching is a creative, practical activity with a strong mathematical background. This book explains the technique and there are large color photos of a good selection of beautiful designs, with 'stitch-by-stitch' sewing plans. The different families of designs are put into their mathematical context and there are many suggestions for further development. There is also a good collection of computer programs written in Basic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for all!, 21 July 2009
This review is from: Curve Stitching: Art of Sewing Beautiful Mathematical Patterns (Paperback)
A great resource both for both the artistic and scientific minds. At one end you can make beautiful pictures for card etc. At the other you can explore the mathematical construction of these curves and find out if these constructions really make the curves they claim to. Whatever level you will approach it at, it's worth taking a look!

4.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know about curve stitching, 19 July 2003
By John R. Snyder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Curve Stitching: Art of Sewing Beautiful Mathematical Patterns (Paperback)
I use this book in my Upper Elementary class, and it is a great favorite of the students. The many colorful photographs of finished projects both inspire and instruct the beginning curve stitcher. The book is divided into projects based on stitching angles and those based on stitching circles. I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 stars because some of the instructions for the circle projects could be a bit clearer, but that shouldn't stop you from trying this excellent book. You'll be surprised how easy it is to make beautiful projects that look really complicated!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lavish colour brings the book to life, 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Curve Stitching: Art of Sewing Beautiful Mathematical Patterns (Paperback)
Jon Millington brings to life the subject of curve stitching in this lavishly illustrated book. The often forgotten craft of curve stitching is made into an invaluable mathmatical teaching aid and should appeal to both the teacher and student alike. A really lovely book which should attract even the most reluctant of maths students! I thoroughly recommend it.
