Beginner's Guide to Machine Embroidery by Pamela Watts
Pamela Watts explores all the techniques with infectious enthusiasm, showing how to work the stitches, adjust tension, layer fabrics, develop surfaces, build up texture, create lacy effects with water soluble fabric and more. Step-by-step photographs accompany a series of projects which are designed to improve skills and the book is packed with expert advice on all aspects of machine embroidery. A final section takes you beyond fabrics into using metal, mesh, handmade paper and more. Vibrant and exciting designs can be created easily using these materials. The effect is stunning when they are combined with soft and transparent fabrics, and lustrous threads.
Pam Watts had a life-long passion for machine embroidery. She studied the subject extensively, and taught and lectured all over the UK, including Missenden Abbey in Buckinghamshire where she was a City & Guilds tutor. She made regular trips overseas to teach workshops on various aspects of embroidery, and wrote a number of books on machine embroidery, bead embroidery and embroidered flowers, together with numerous magazine articles. Her hobbies ranged from flying helicopters to gardening. Sadly, Pam died in February 2020 but will always be remembered for her expertise in the field of embroidery and her tireless ability to live life to the full.
