Publisher's Note Silk ribbon embroidery lends a certain elegance, mystery, and romance to contemporary clothing and accessories. They used to be done by hand, but now you can make them in a fraction of the time, because for the first time a book translates traditional hand techniques for your sewing machine. Start by discovering how your built-in machine stitches take on new beauty when sewn in silk. Then see how to add simple tacking, looping and twirls that can replicate hand needlework. The techniques are simple, the results luxurious, as you master silk ribbon bobbin work, couching silk ribbons from the top, and mixed media. A special section shows how to make buds and leaves and a variety of flowers, as well as additional stitches.
