Fleece Techniques (Embroidery machine essentials) - Softcover

Embroidery machines have captured the imagination of sewing enthusiasts everywhere and now Jeanine Twigg's second Companion Project Series book combines fleece - the most in-demand fabric - with embroidery! Fleece offers the perfect canvas for embroidery creativity. Twigg has teamed up with industry expert Nancy Cornwell to present another exciting fleece adventure. As she did in her three best-selling books Adventures with Polarfleece[registered], More Polarfleece[registered] Adventures and Polar Magic, Cornwell begins with the basics - covering the "how-tos" for machine embroidery success. She then cleverly explores new territories as she uses embroidery designs to create surface interest with a variety of techniques, such as trapunto effects, "embossing," applique and terrific new ways to take advantage of embroidery and fleece to create surface texture. Readers will learn how to use one design for a multitude of fleece embroidery techniques and how to create spectacular effects by using different elements of a motif.

Nancy Cornwell, affectionately known as the "Polar Princess," has written two best-selling books about sewing fleece, Adventures with Polarfleece[registered] and More Polarfleece[registered] Adventures. She is a sought-after teacher and speaker who has made several guest appearances on television programmes. Cornwell's fun and enthusiastic approach to sewing is infectious and inspires confidence in needlecrafters of all skill levels.
