New Dimensions

Details
Number 9 of the Beaney / Littlejohn series.

In this booklet the authors look at at two quite distinct approaches to combining hand and machine stitching in dynamic ways that can offer vigorous and dimensional surfaces as well as subtle and fragile effects. Both methods are capable of being worked in limitless ways to produce practical or wall hung textiles: They are also relatively unexplored and very versatile.

Soft cover - magazine style.
