## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sophisticated and comprehensive
*by S***N on January 1, 2023*

As told in the preface, the author is an academically trained textile artist who after 35 years of teaching wrote the comprehensive book she wished her students could have had, intertwining “art (expressive), craft (handling materials with care, deftness, skill, and mastery), and design (structure and intent, thought and planning)”. Everything about this book is high quality and sophisticated: the binding, the paper, the fonts, the beautiful photos and layout. The text too is comprehensible and every word counts. I am a painter, not a fiber artist, and fell immediately in love with this book. It’s hard to imagine anyone, from whatever interest brings them to this book, could be disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a love affair with thread
*by J***N on September 27, 2019*

As an artist working primarily in textiles, I *thought* I understood the vast potential of stitches...until I opened this book. I didn't fully realize before how limited my scope had truly been. The Intentional Thread is absolutely encyclopedic in its analysis of thread, stitching, color, and design. It is so far beyond a how-to book (though it does include a very understandable appendix of basic stitches at the end). It goes in depth into the expressive potential of stitches and shows seemingly endless variations on particular themes . It also demonstrates the relationship between hand-stitching and hand-drawing. The book could easily be used as a self-directed workshop, with "Try this!" pages at the end of each chapter, with suggestions for applying the content to personal work samples. The best thing about the book, though, is the images. Absolutely every page has full-color photographs illustrating the ideas described in the chapter. Just flipping through the pages is inspiring. This book really is a gift to artists, with the idea of expressive mark-making being applicable not just to textile artists but to all artists.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful teaching book!
*by F***E on June 4, 2020*

Unlike many "craft" style books, this incredibly well-written and illustrated book on the topic of stitchery, treats sewing and embroidery as an art form. It covers line, shape, value, composition as well as suggesting "problems" the reader might wish to solve. It is not a project book. It teaches you how to use thread to express what you choose to express. This is not a craft-oriented project book. It's truly a text to learn how to manipulate thread as you would paint, pen and ink, or other expressions of artistic ability and interest. It's wonderful, and I would recommend it heartily to anyone who is interested in really learning about the creative and expressive use of thread.
