"This invaluable compendium offers finishing methods for weavers, knitters, sewers, embroiderers, crocheters, or anyone interested in textile arts."—Quick & Easy Crochet |
For the first time, an abundant
collection of fabric finishing techniques is presented in a single
book! This invaluable compendium offers finishing methods for weavers,
knitters, sewers, embroiderers, crocheters, or anyone interested
in the textile arts. From basic to esoteric, simple to elegant,
or plain to highly decorative, these finishes can be applied to
most any fabric—woven, knitted, crocheted, handmade or purchased.
Each technique is clearly presented with text, illustrations, and
photographs of examples created in the technique. In the years ahead,
this book will become your most-prized reference for all of your
finishing needs.
About the author: Naomi K. McEneely was
raised on a farm with lots of siblings and animals. For most of
her life, she has worked with her hands weaving, spinning, knitting,
sewing, crocheting, embroidering, quilting, basketmaking, and experimenting
with ways to “finish off” her creations. She learned many
of these techniques at her mother’s and grandmother’s
knees but researched others from cultures worldwide. Her work has
appeared on the cover of Woman’s Wear Daily, in the
pages of Vogue, and on Good Morning America, and one of her
quilts hangs in the Smithsonian Institution. She lives outside Chicago
with her husband and four children.
