Review
If you love the look of ribbon embroidery but want to speed up the process, try creating it by machine. It takes only a straight stitch and no special techniques, so with any sewing machine you can master the chain, lazy daisy, French knot, blanket, and many other stitches, then whip up projects for year-round use: spring dresses, summer hats, an autumn vest, a winter scarf, plus seasonally appropriate wall hangings, pillows, ornaments, note cards, and more. Or, combine any of the three dozen stitches explained in the illustrated stitch guide to design your own embroidered pieces. --Amy Handy
