A Good How-To!
I've been interested in machine embroidery for many years with landscapes being of particular interest. In this video, Alison Holt shows you step-by-step and in detail how she goes about creating her landscapes. From choosing materials, mapping out your idea, painting the background, and creating the big picture as well as the details, she shares her complete methodology.
Maybe the hardest part of getting started is to design the work. Alison discusses how she does it and gives a step by step example, discussing her thoughts and design choices as she goes so that you can learn how and why choices are made. She then follows through creating that same design in the rest of the video, along the way, discussing design choices.
I have few criticisms of this instructional DVD. One is that she uses an unfamiliar description for the weight of silk she prefers to use as her background. I have been unable to find it as described though there is no shortage of silks...
Video Preview!
GREAT TEACHER! GREAT DVD!
I bought this DVD recently and I love it. I have not found anything like this in DVD before because Ms. Holt teaches you how to do machine embroidery only using any zig-zag sewing machine! She is also a great teacher not leaving you to wonder how something is done She explains her self very clearly and when you are first learning this is very important. I love Alison Holt and I hope she makes more DVDs because I will buy them.
Thanks Ms Holt!
