Embellish and Stitch

by Valerie Campbell-Harding & Maggie Grey

This book begins with the use of embellishing machines and hand needles with tips and tricks for both. It continues through chapters on appliqué, felting, couching, tucks, gathers and weaves, and concludes with a brief look at how to carry a design through to completion. Val and I did our best to make sure that the book was innovative and informative, and the pics by Michael Wicks are just great.

Using Paint Shop Pro in Textile Design

Using PSP

No longer in print but
now available on CD ROM in PDF format
versions 7 (illustrated above), 8 or 9.


Our books on Using Paint Shop Pro in Textile Design have been very popular over several years. We produced the first when version 5 was launched in 1998 and followed with further editions for versions 6, 7, 8 and 9. The original manufacturers, JASC, were taken over by Corel two years ago and, since then, there have been three additional versions. Nobody has the time to keep up with this race so, reluctantly, we decided to produce no further versions.

However, a lot of people out there still have versions 7, 8 and 9 and we keep being asked for our books although they have been out of print for some time. The good news is that we still have the source material for these versions and can therefore now offer them on CD ROM in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. Its content is exactly the same as the printed book, covering all the basics with tutorials and ideas for the particular aspects of designing for textiles.

Price £10.00 British pounds.
