Textile Artist: Layered and Stitched Pictures: Using Free Machine Embroidery and Appliqué to Create Textile Art Inspired By Everyday Life (The Textile Artist)

I bought this book because the cover illustration appealed to me and I assumed the bicycle design was included in the content.There is no mention at all of this and I feel that it is an unfair practice. ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover’!Apart from that there are some other good ideas with clear instructions and photos.

I’m slightly peeved by this book. To me it was disingenuous neglecting to include the bike that was on the front cover in the content of the book. It was actually my reason for buying the book and on arrival and flicking through it left me disappointed. The rest of the projects were very nice but there really was something unusual and individual about the bike on the cover...hence it’s prominent placing on the cover to then find it’s not even included in any way (apart from being told at the beginning it’s name) is a false promise! Otherwise a nice book which I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from but it’s left a bitter taste unfortunately.

This is a really good instructional book.... the templates are nice if you don’t feel confident to go straight into making your own design ideas. I will be making a birthday gift which I couldn’t have done without this information.It’s also great to have it as kindle download to refer to on my iPad while sewing rather than trying to turn pages of a physical book .

I like the way there are stepped instructions, and the ideas are good. All the ideas and methods can be carried into your own art work. A good addition to my collection of useful books.

My book arrived on time in excellent condition, I absolutely love it it’s perfect for a beginner or an experienced sewer , everything is explained in great detail with patterns of what’s in the book , I would highly recommend it , it’s fabulous.
