Silk Painting: Adding Depth & Contrast in Machine Embroidery

DVD Title: Creative Machine Embroidery with Alison Holt

Alison Holt is a world-class machine embroiderer who has devoted nearly 30 years to creating, teaching and writing books about the art of free-hand Machine Embroidery. In this DVD, we explore creating flowers, foliage and landscapes with Alison as she provides step by step instruction in how to create the magnificent flowers and photo-like landscapes that have made her famous. In "Part Three - Silk Painting - Creating Depth and Contrast" she explains how heat-set silk paints are first applied to the fabric to create a colorful and abstract foundation prior to sewing machine embroidering. It is what has made Alison famous as an artist and author of several books on the subject.
