Embroidery Publications

Albatross

Hey folks-
Can anyone recommend embroidery publications, either magazines or books?
I come across "craft" publications but haven't found any trade publications or "how to" books with technical information. Just curious.......thought I'd ask here.

Thanks,
Sandy

Ignore that last link. It as supposed to be EmbroideryLine.net

For books I am going to recommend some Old School ones... probably super cheap on Amazon. I think it important to know where the industry has been to be relevant in the future. (but I am a bit crazy)

"The Art of Embroidery In the 90's" by Coleman Schneider
"The Embroidery Stitch Bible" by Betty Barnden
"Painting with a Needle" by Young Yang Chung

Will they teach you how to digitize or sew today... up to you. But my way of thinking is these three books will show the possibilities! Trying to get the modern digitizing software to replicate is the fun part.

EXAMPLE: Trapunto.... hand embroiderers have used this technique of stuffing areas to make them Puff up for centuries..... And now machine embroiderers call it 3D Puff embroidery... but this mimic has not been around more than 20 years I would say!

Hey thanks guys!

Exactly what I was looking for. Robert - thanks for the book titles - I have found a couple of the titles used on Half.Com for less the five bucks each, I agree it helps to know where the industry has been in order to try and understand where it's going.
Thanks again folks-
