Summary: Great for inspiration
Comment: While I don't share the author's design sensibilities, the technical information and supplier info was well worth the purchase of this book. I found lots of good information I could use regarding types of thread, beads, braids, etc. to use for projects, and learned some new (and useful!) sewing vocabulary words I didn't have before.

Summary: A book that goes beyond the expected
Comment: I own many, many sewing books and hesitated to buy another that would teach the same old basics. This book DOES teach the basics--and, like all Taunton books, with clear directions and beautiful, helpful illustrations. However, then the author goes a step further and shows some extremely sophisticated looks that a sewer can get from using the techniques in unexpected ways--or by combining two techniques. (I can't wait to try the combination of cording and bobbin work.) This is not an intimidating book--and makes you feel that if you take your time, you can get good results even if you aren't a couture sewer. Every embellishment technique you can think of is in this book--and I'd label it a basic reference work. I'm keeping it close at hand in my sewing room, right next to "Fabric Savvy," "The Art of Fabric Collage," "Make It Your Own," and my Lois Ericson books.

Summary: Excellent for Clothing Embellishment Technique
Comment: I bought this book without having the luck of breezing through it before I bought it. The book covers beadwork, threadwork, trims applique and bindings and pipings very thoroughly. The photos and drawings are excellent, and the explanation of decorative threads section was super. This book is a great resource for clothing embellishment.
