Synopsis

Curve stitching is a creative, practical activity with a strong mathematical background. This book explains the technique and there are large colour photographs of a good selection of beautiful designs, with stitchbystitch sewing plans. The different families of designs are put into their mathematical context and there are many suggestions for further development. There is also a good collection of computer programs written in Basic. These programs can readily be modified and adapted so that one can find on screen those patterns which will be most pleasing to sew.

Review:

Amazon User Reviews; "Easy to follow for a beginner like me."; "A great resource both for both the artistic and scientific minds. At one end you can make beautiful pictures for card etc. At the other you can explore the mathematical construction of these curves and find out if these constructions really make the curves they claim to. Whatever level you will approach it at, it's worth taking a look!";"Looking for something to inspire children about maths and extend the more able? Curved stitching is perfect. I found this book very helpful and the patterns really inspired the children."
