Machine Embroidery on Difficult Materials [With CDROM] Tapa blanda - 2009

Información de la editorial

Embroider leathers, silks, synthetics and chiffons successfully every time!

But what about those "other" fabrics? You know, the ones that pucker and run...buckle and stretch...break your thread...or bury your embroidery in mounds of plush pile?

Deborah Jones has embroidered it all, from slippery synthetic sheers to the thickest velvet. In this authoritative reference, she unlocks the secrets to embroidering on 18 of the most tempting yet challenging materials:

• Unstable fabrics: Lightweight knits, stretch knits, bulky knits, gauze
• Densely woven fabrics: Lightweight nylon, coarse nylon, polyester satin and acetate, silk charmeuse
• Pile and napped fabrics: Velvet, terry, fleece, faux fur
• Sheers: Natural-fiber and synthetic
• "Unfabrics": Vinyl, faux suede, leather

This complete reference puts everything you need at your fingertips:

• Which needles, stabilizers, marking and hooping methods work best for each fabric
• Clear, empowering explanations, so you'll know why these challenging fabrics behave (and misbehave) the way they do
• 18 beautiful projects (how many embroidery designs and how many projects)
• Bonus CD-ROM with more than 20 fabric-specific project designs in 12 file formats
