- Claire Baker, Cleveland College of Art & Design, UK,

Machine Embroidery is hugely exciting in terms of its potential as acreative medium and is part of a flourishing creative industry both indesign and production. MMU hosts a specialist embroidery department,which has been instrumental in artistic and educational innovations in this area since the 1960s. The lecturers,graduates and students have remarkable expertise in machine embroidery,and MMU is home to a rich and unique archive of machines, samples andartwork, both historical and contemporary. This book will celebratethis archive, as well as providing the only definitive record (andexploring the potential) of the huge number of machines currently inuse from the traditional Irish Embroidery machine to the new generationof computerised sewing machines. The book will demonstrate how keymachines can be applied to the artistic, industrial and domestic practice, and shows machine embroiderers how to combine techniques anddevelop their ideas using machine embroidery. Each contributor givestheir own individual perspective on machine stitch.
