Product Description
The latest book from two of the world's bestselling textile authors: Maggie Grey and Valerie Campbell-Harding. Their latest book looks at the new and exciting techniques to dissolve, melt and distort fabric, both before and after stitching. These techniques add texture, colour and depth to the work of all textile workers: embroiderers and quilters. Some of the fabrics and materials can be dissolved, some melted, some punched and slashed, and some distorted. The book explores the various techniques with easy-to-follow steps. All the methods are safe and without the need for specialised equipment. Fantastically illustrated with work by Maggie and Val and a selection from fellow textile artists, the book also includes clear step-by-step instructions and diagrams, plus tips on design.

All the latest techniques and materials available both in the UK and the US are brought together in this book to ensure the textile artist has the a wealth of information to bring further creativity to their own work.
