{"product_id":"tacony_bd2409","title":"Machine Needle Felting Book and DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eMachine needle felting is a very creative and easy technique to master, and is particularly suited to textile and quilt artists. No great skill is needed for this technique; simply a willingness to explore and experiment with fabrics and fibers.Fabrics take on a whole new dimension when textured and simple fibers such as knitting yarn and roving are transformed into beautiful shapes and textures.Additional machine or hand stitching and hand applied embellishments such as beading, add drama, interest and effect; and the use of unusual applications such as using a heating tool will have you looking at things in a whole different way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0;\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e Create dimensional fiber art with needle felting and hand embroidery accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Isabella Hoffman walks you through needle felting with the creation of six stunning projects using machine felting, applique, fiber blending, shading, embellishing, and much more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eMore details from our sewing advisers:\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0; list-style-type: circle\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e Machine Needle Felting Timeless Collection by Isabella Hoffmann\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft cover; 74 pages; color photos, black \u0026amp; white illustrations; full sized (trace or photo copy) applique patterns; copyright 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eSewing With Nancy\u003c\/i\u003e 60 minute DVD demonstrates the needle felting process by Nancy and fiber artist Isabella Hoffman.
