Description

Paper crafters will warmly welcome this first-of-its kind volume, which presents the richness and variety of a newly popular technique. Whether it’s used in scrapbooks or on handmade cards, for decorative effects or functional bindings, stitched paper is found everywhere these days. The spectacular results are unique and impossible to achieve with just glue or folding. Explore a cornucopia of different papers and threads. Follow the clever tips for preventing delicate papers from tearing and for machine-stitching around curves. Best of all, you can create a beautiful baby mobile; a “family tree” to frame; and a "slipcover” for a bud vase. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.
