This unique book collection culls the expertise of academics and the

actual embroidery machines archives of Manchester Metropolitan

University in Great Britain whose specialist embroidery department has

been instrumental in artistic and educational innovations in textiles

since the 1960s. This book is the definitive record of the vast number

of machines from the traditional Irish Embroidery machines to the latest

generation of computerized sewing machines and features a rich and

fascinating record of the machines themselves and the samples and

artwork that were produced on them. Each contributor gives their own

individual perspective on machine stitch and the book illustrates how

key machines can be applied to the artistic, industrial and domestic

practice and shows how to combine techniques and develop new ideas in

machine embroidery, a creative medium that is flourishing in both design

and production.
