Stitched Pictures cover

The renowned embroiderer Linda Miller brings the art of machine embroidery to life in this beautiful book. Packed with practical advice and over 200 photographs, each chapter guides you through all the skills and techniques needed to make an array of exciting machine-stitched pictures. There are six projects featuring different textile techniques, including solidly-stitched machine embroidery, working with found objects and reverse fabric appliqué. It also provides you with the confidence and knowledge to use your sewing machine as a drawing and painting tool.

In this delightful and colourful book, embroiderer Linda Miller brings the art of machine embroidery to life. Whilst this book is aimed more at embroiderers, the skills and techniques are invaluable for quilters who would like to have a go at thread drawing and painting to add texture and interest to their work. -- Anne Williams, The Quilter * The Quilter *
Whether looking for a new crafting challenge, or just over-coming that feeling of dread when you know your beautifully dyed (or woven) piece of fabric needs machine-stitching to turn it into a bag, mastering machine stitching using Linda’s techniques and projects will make the job less daunting. -- Sally Firth, Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers * Journal of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers *
