Yes, I purchased more books. I have a thing for books. They are pure entertainment. There was an author from the 70s and 80s that did some fantastic sewing related books and I happened upon a couple that I had not heard of before. Both books are machine embroidery related. Here they are:
The is the older of the two books. It is from the 70s. This is before electronic machines. Just flipping though reminds a little of the Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery and Lace Work (yes, this book is also in my library).
This book is from the mid-80s. It seems to be an updated version of the previous book. It talks a bit about the automated stitches. Yes, this is the early computerized sewing machines. By the time this book was printed, I owned a Necchi Logica 592. It was in impulse buy but I loved that machine. I was spoiled and didn't realize it until much later.
Since the two books are so similar, I may work through sections of the book and share the results.
Have you seen either of these books? My library contains a quilting book by Robbie and Tony Fanning. If you can find a copy, it is worth every penny.
Happy Stitching!
