We decided to write this book in response to the many questions we are asked on a continual basis. New fads come and go but there are some basic features of design and practice that are universal and never date. As certain design problems recur, we have attempted to give hints and reminders to enable the reader to assess their work.

In general, our suggestions are meant for those who are making pictures, panels or hangings where freer actions can be taken.

We are always being asked about the use of the embellishing machine. Jean is known for her amazing work where she has used these machines in a range of creative ways, and a section of the book will be devoted to this technique with contributions from Jan.

Jan has been pioneering the use of soluble film. She has included further developments of the use of soluble film along with Jean’s input. Although we are serious about our work and our teaching, we also like to have fun. We hope this is reflected in this book.
