Trish Burrs Embroidery Transfers

Love the transfers in this book, has definitely got me in the mood to get back into embroidery. -- Kathleen Nash * Amazon Customer Review * This is a wonderful book for making sewing embroidery on costumes so much easier, you could just use the techniques to print too and save stitching time thanks Search Press. -- Jazz Tattersall * Amazon Customer Review * I love Trish's embroidery, I have been following her on social media for some time. Its good to see her patterns transfers. They transfer great onto the fabric and have good range of smaller and bigger pieces. -- Jessica Irene Morgan * Amazon Customer Review * The cover of the book is beautiful and explains exactly what you will get in the book, which is over 70 lovely iron on transfers all shown with fully embroidered colour pictures. The transfers are clear and inviting and for someone experienced in embroidery it is like an Aladdin's cave. -- Davina Williams * Amazon Customer Review * This book isnt quite what I expected but I do like it, I just hadnt read the description properly ahead of time. The vast majority of the pages are filled with designs to transfer onto fabric so that you can embroider the images and the first few pages are photos from all of Trishs previous embroidery books of the original embroidered works. In those books are where youll find the tutorials and thread colours and step-by-step instructions if you wish to follow her closely but of course you dont have to, you can either attempt to colour match by eye from the photos in the book, or choose your own colour scheme and just go for it. The designs are intricate with plenty of details, most would fit in a 3-4 hoop with some larger designs included. Many of the pages include a number of designs on each and all are very clearly categorised and labelled by original book title so that you can easily go and find the corresponding instructions in that book if you wish to follow her tutorials. The transfer process itself takes a little practice but the written and visual instructions in the book are clear and by the second go I had it nailed. I also extended the time to 1.5 minutes which gave a much clearer outline and worked really well. I used the same transfer 3 times and it looks like it would still work well enough a 4th time, albeit it gets feinter each time. The flower and bird illustrations are really lovely and very much my cup of tea so Im really looking forward to transferring and then embroidering those. All in all, its a good book, especially good if you have the books with the original art in. Overall, Id recommend it. -- Lucy Fyles * Amazon Customer Review * A stunning book of transfers with well written instructions on how to use. -- Sara Hawkins * Amazon Customer Review * Trish Burrs Embroidery Transfers is one of the many new embroidery books published by Search Press this year, as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration. They sent me an advanced copy, which took me a full three minutes to read. And thats a good thing because this isnt a book you have to read.
