Customer Reviews

Embroidered toilet paper!

I bought this book on a whim. I embroidered toilet paper & soap (from the book) for my sister in Germany. I added an embroidered wash cloth & hand towel, and basketed it all up. She was stunned to see embroidered toilet paper. There are lots of fun projects in this book.

Wild & Wacky Projects

This book has some adorable projects. It also has projects for all skill levels and something new to try for everyone interested in machine embroidery. Also comes with free machine embroidery designs to expand your library. Fun book.

Great Idea Book

I just purchased my first embroidery machine, and sewing machine a matter of fact. This books has so many ideas. The authors show you how to embroidery on wood, metal, mesh, and all sorts of cloth. Great ideas to mkae many gift items, not just clothing and house decor, but items for candles and even soap. The cd that comes with it is worth the cost itself. The cd rom has over 30 embroidery designs and color instructions in pdf format. Whatever machine you have a format is made for you. This book is a must for beginners to experts.

If you own an embroidery machine and want to get the most from it...

If you own an embroidery machine and want to get the most from it, Machine Embroidery Wild & Wacky is for you: it's a cut above the usual stitching guide and offers up some twenty projects for wood, metal, paper, canvas and plastic surfaces, pairs them with a cd-rom of designs, and adds in step-by-step instructions for using multiple needles and adding other embellishments. The purpose is to explore the wide range of opportunities available to machine embroidery users: it does an outstanding job of moving beyond the realm of the usual, opening new worlds to machine users just starting to experiment with possibilities.
