Embellish, Stitch, Felt: Using the Embellisher Machine and Needle-Punch Techniques Paperback – May 6, 2014

Incrediby lovely photos of completed work as well as precise instruction.

Great book for showing you what can be done with the new embellishing machines. Comprehensive and inspiring.

I had been perusing a lot of the other books about felting but this one was exactly what I was looking for. I was specifically seeking a book about machine needle felting versus how to make felt using wet & dry techniques. These photos are great, instructions easy to follow, and the projects are more "mature" in nature (unlike so many other books that focus on silly things). Definitely a good buy!

This is written from an artist's view. Techniques and projects go beyond pretty flowers that many other felting books do.It is one of the few books on dry felting but the author gives instructions for wet felting and comparisons between dry and wet felting. I would recommend it to any fiber artist looking for a new technique to add to their tool box.

This is a beautiful book on felting. Instructions are excellent. Pictures are very clear and beautiful. The problem with it is that there are only close up pictures of sections of a finished piece and some finished pieces, but no pictures that take you from step 1 to the finish. If you don't know how to felt, you won't learn how to from this book. There should be pictures showing what she means when she tells you to lay down yarns , fabrics or rovings. How to use the various tools that are needed is not shown either. If you don't know how to use rovings, you won't know what she is telling you to do as there are no pictures showing you the process. Nor does she show you how much to use of a fiber or yarn to get the effect she ends up with. That goes for every project in the book. It is like buying a book to teach you how to decorate a cake and they only have a picture of the finished cake, or a slice of the finished cake. If you didn't have pictures showing how it got that way, only with words describing that you should squeeze the button on the decorating gun, you would not be able to decorate a cake no matter how beautiful the picture of the finished cake it.I think this book needed to say that it is for the advanced felter. I by the way am David's wife.

Beautiful and well done. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed this book and will recomend it to my fellow fabric workers

If you want to step up your adventures in needle felting this is the book for you.Amazingly simple tips that will turn your needle felting into works of art!If you love this book try anything by Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn.

This is one lovely book. Full of such gorgeous, creative fiber work. A must for any fiber artist or felter.

I tought there was LOT more about usage of an embellishing machine

The inspiring photographs will make this my "go to reference" when I am looking to add some pizazz to my work.

My craft tutor recommended this book, and I was not disappointed. The suggestions for projects and the photography are really beautiful, and although I do own several other books, this is the one I return to time and time again. If you enjoy needle-felting, this book will help you raise your game to another level. Buy it.

Bien sûr, c'est mieux si on aime l'anglais! Mais même sans cela , les réalisations, pourtant assez simples, sont d'une beauté si profonde et originale que la richesse visuelle est déjà suffisante et enseigne à elle seule déjà beaucoup sur le feutrage artistique 2 et 3D, aiguilleté ( main et machine) ou à l'eau.Feutrages associés aux embellissements cousus, les textes d'instruction associés aux objet présentés et aux techniques utilisés sont précis, mais c'est pour son univers d'inspiration que j'aime particulièrement ce livre et c'est donc pour cet aspect que je vous le recommande chaleureusement.

This is a fantastic technique book for anyone who owns an embellisher machine or enjoys using the needle punch textiles technique. It's never actually gone on my bookshelf. It remains on my sewing table in my design studio for easy reference.
