NOW AVAILABLE IN A FULL-COLOR BOUND EDITION

This 60-page comprehensive manual explores the traditional method of applying one canvas to another background layer. This technique has not been covered in-depth in any other book, and Ann has several innovative suggestions that eliminate some of the tedium involved. The book has well illustrated step-by-step instructions for the preparation and mounting procedures for both regular and irregular shapes on either an open or solid background. It also includes segments on both detached and reverse appliqué, kid and ultra suede appliqué and several other novelty treatments that can be used on canvas to produce three-dimensional effects.  This publication has received the endorsement of the Master Craftsman Committee of the Embroiderers Guild of America and the techniques combine nicely with the popular stumpwork effects that are being added to painted canvasses and charted designs today.
