Machine Embroidered Landscapes by Alison Holt

Machine Embroidered Landscapes by Alison Holt

Machine embroidery is a versatile technique which offers a creative method of interpreting a design in colour, line, texture or all three. The sewing Machine then becomes, in effect, a paintbrush, and can produce a wealth of beautiful and striking effects. In creating pictures with thread the worker mixes dots of pure colour in the same way as the Pointillist and Impressionist Painters.

Taking landscape pictures as a theme, Alison Holt Draws on her own Fine Art Training to produce this manual of design. Beginning with the basics, such as choosing a sewing machine, she guides the reader through gathering source material and the techniques possible together with the effects they offer. Information on use of fabric and colour provides a sound basis for translating source material into thread pictures, illustrated with examples of the author's own work in various stages of development.
