I was new to machine embroidery and I happened to see this particular book lying on the store owners sewing desk. I browsed through it and was immediately hooked! I had to have my own copy. It has everything you could possibly need to know about machine embroidery. I never did go back and do the classes for my machine...it was all in this book and then some!
The extra CD was a nice touch to the lessons!

I work in a store and teach embroidery & digitizing, this is absolutely THE BEST primer for people just starting out in machine embroidery, and it's a great reference manual for everyone else. It is not machine-specific, so no matter what you've got, you will find information in here to help you out. This is THE book I always recommend to newbies!

I found this book to be of great help for all aspects of machine embroidery. I also appreciated the enclosed CD of designs. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to the art of machine embroidery.

I'm very please with the information in this book. It covers many techniques and has suggestions on all aspects of machine embroidery. I wish I had this book when I got my machine since it would have saved me from making many mistakes. I also like the inspirational section to provide many different ideas to try.

This is a great book for a beginner, as I am, in machine embroidery to start building their library of machine embroidery books on. It provides good concise information for starting this craft in easy understandable terms. It covers a wide variety of the subjects that one needs to know in order to start producing embroidered products. It provides many helpful hints, good pictures, a variety of projects, and a resource section, not to mention the free design CD. It is one of the few books I have bought that delivers what it promises and at a very reasonable price. I have found something useful on just about every page. I highly recommend it.

To have found this book it has made all of the difference in my projects. I'm a beginner and with the help of this book. I feel much more confident in what I am doing and also my finished project has improved a great deal. Buy with confidence

This is a fabulous book. Clear directions for any fabric type along with helpful hints. I agree with the detailed descriptions re: the book in previous reviews.

Finally a solid machine embroidery resource book is now available for the home embroiderer! This is a must-have reference guide that covers every single aspect of machine embroidery. Jeanine Twigg does an stand-up job of covering machine essentials, hooping techniques, stabilizer choices, embroidery threads, needles, and troubleshooting. The photos are well-done, the material is simple, not overly complicated or complex, and every topic is covered. The added bonus: A CD with 6 embroidery motifs designed by Linda Goodall of Cactus Punch! I would highly recommend this book for every beginning machine embroiderer to have and keep right next to their embroidery machine. An excellent investment!

This book helped me out of a very difficult dispute I was having about middle names and surnames (I get them confused, but you know how it is) with some great advice about stitching the letters. Thanks, Jeanine!

I wish I had read this book prior to buying my machine! It was so helpful in explaining everything about machine embroidery. I bought my machine because I liked the brand and never even looked at any other brand. I now know that there is a ton of information out there and this book is a "nutshell". It is definately worth every penny! This book gives a lot of insight to the embroidery process and eases the frustration of learning. The free designs are great and the resource list is very helpful. I definately recomend this book as the first one you should buy!!!
