I bought this book to learn how to do this technique. I was disappointed because I still have no clue where to even begin. I found alot of her finished pieces depressing. Some of the subjects looked to be on their death beds. It still is amazing to see what you can do with fabric and thread...or should I say what she can do with fabric and thread.
Work in Fabric & thread is a great book to Read. I say this because Scherer didn't share her step by step "how to" instructions. I did find that some of stories and pictures in the book really hit home with me. Very inspirational! I love this book and really don't care that she doesn't share her techniques. If your wanting a book to use as a tool to create a masterpiece then I believe you need to keep searching. If your wanting eye candy and a good read this book is for you!
I really like the written information that accompanies the images that are included in the book. Quilters especially, or perhaps anyone who works with fabric textiles and threads will appreciate the results of the techniques Scherer uses. While the final products are stunning, it is disappointing that the author does not really share with fans, how to achieve similar results in their own creations. There are a few pictures illustrating Scherer at work on one of the featured items, but I bought the book thinking I would be able to read and follow step by step instructions to create my own masterpiece! Even though that is not the case, I think I will keep the book for future reference and inspiration!
