What is On the Surface : Thread Embellishment and Fabric Manipulation about?

The experimental nature and versatility of surface stitchery should interest quiltmakers, sewers, and fibre artists of all skill levels. Creative options are unlimited with the methods for manipulating fabric surfaces shown in this book, which includes a variety of beginner projects. Surface stitching, says Hill, requires only three things. You must be conscious, your sewing machine must have the capability of sewing a straight stitch, and you must have some time actually to do the stitching. She might have added that this type of stitchery requires a hefty thread budget. The object of this type of surface stitching is to embellish fabric with multiple layers of straight stitching, combining varying weights and colors of thread with different stitch styles to achieve a textured fabric that lends itself particularly to wearable art clothing. Hill combines clear instructions for mastering this technique with an attractive selection of projects in surface design. There are color photos throughout the book.
