Everyone who works with textiles understands the importance of mastering fundamental techniques. And everyone has experienced the excitement of coming across a new idea. Yet putting art and craft together--the creative act--can seem intimidating.

They offer advice on choosing fabrics, layering, creating texture, embellishment, edges, finishes, and all the key techniques.
