The New Magic of Fabric Embellishment,
Machine Embroidery, and Appliqu�
by Glenda Sparling, Wrapped in Fabriqu� 

Glenda Sparling, president of Ranita Corp., has written other books on fitting and designing, but only in this one will you find out how to dribble, pucker, scribble, strip, tuck, tunnel, be a cut-up and do the m�lange! What?   Is this a sewing book or maybe something you might do at a party?  Trust me, this is a very detailed book that will encourage you to have fun with your machine, fabric, and threads. 

Basics include machine feet, needles, stabilizers, threads and more. Techniques are shown  in clear line drawings as well as black and white photos.  But its the color photos, especially the close-ups, that make you want to begin creating immediately.  Imagine my pleasure in actually seeing the garments and accessories while attending one of Glenda's seminars when she was in Michigan last Fall.   This lady is a very polished and organized speaker who easily handled questions during the presentation.  Then she sat and sewed what she had talked about.

Oh, dribbling is a variation of cable stitching, m�lange is the creation of fabric using water soluble stabilizer, threads, yarns, and fabric bits, and tunnels may be created when stitching tubes together,  To learn about the other terms, rush out, buy this book, and try your version of one of the12 projects.  You'll love it!
