I have wanted an Embroidery machine, but can’t quite fit it into the budget! I would LOVE to win this! Thank you!
thanks for the giveaway! (:
Looks like a FABULOUS book & one I could use!!!
Painting with thread – what could be more beautiful?!
Stitching up with ‘Freestyle Machine Embroidery’ would put my new sewing machine into hyper-drive, leaving buttonhole stitches and hem stitching in the dust. This book opens up the many possibilities for creating embroidered machine art for those with an interest to move into new design techniques with their sewing machines. Thanks, Nikki
Wow! When I took machine embroidery classes about 30 years ago we just made little kitty faces, a rose, etc. all with the same kind of thread. I love the textures & the subject matter is great. Your book on freestyle machine embroidery would be a great incentive to try it again.
Thanks,
Fran
I would love to win your freestyle machine embroidery book, looks like fun.

I adore free machine embroidery! Unfortunately I bought a machine with a horizontal bobbin case, so it isn’t as handy for this. But I’m still trying and that amazing portrait is enough to keep me going!
I have just begun to do free motion quilting and would be very pleased to learn from this book.
I would love to see the rest of the book, those few images simply take my breath away – beautiful work.
That looks amazing! I do hand embroidery, but I have been dying to try freestyle machine stitching.
Wow, this is impressive. Hope I win!
I always need more advice on freemotion machine work. Would love to have this book.
the art is amazing!

Another new thing I have been playing with, that looks like a great book to give me inspiration and direction with free styling!
Hi. I would like to be included in the draw. Thank you.
I’d love to spend some time analyzing these wonderful artworks!
This looks wonderful and a real challenge for my free motion skills…I would love to explore free motion embroidery! Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!
How exactly do I enter the contest?
I have been enjoying free motion embroidery for a little bit. This book would inspire me a lot. Thanks
I have a straight stitch machine… can’t afford an embroidery machine and have been wondering how I can do something more with what I’ve got. Today while surfing around the web I found some pics on flickr of wool broochs with trees embroidered on them that were done with this technique. That woman lives in England so can’t learn from her! I’d love to at least LOOK at this book 🙂
This book looks cool!
The cover of book looks great… its kind of art.
