Raising the Surface With Machine Embroidery

Paper, Metal & Stitch

With the number and variety of surfaces used for embroidery and textile art expanding, this is a timely book that concentrates on two of the key new materials now incorporated into textiles paper and metal. Paper is of great interest to embroiderers. It can be used as a base for a variety of techniques and to enhance and embellish work. It can be manipulated, cut, torn, stitched, and moulded into any shape or form. You can add colour, texture and metallic effects. Metal has long been associated with stitch in the form of metal thread embroidery, but new sources of metal are available, such as metal shim - very thin, stitch-friendly slices of real metal; glittering metal meshes, wires and coils, beads and foils and recycled domestic metals. Stitch is the ultimate enhancer and possible effects range from delicate tracery to enliven a silver and pastel scheme to the heavy stitch and rich gold of old icons and frames. With several step-by-step photographs of key techniques plus images of finished pieces, the book is divided up as follows: Making and Shaping Paper; Texturing and Colouring Paper; Metallic Effects on Paper; Stitch into Paper (with and without fabric); Varieties of metals
