Very Nice Book Wonderful Instructions a bit Retro Tho

This is a great book for the beginning tassle maker. I agree with the other reveiwer who said the word 'fringe' does not belong in the title. The many illustrated instructions are very easy to follow ( shows how to make with machine and by hand) and the material lists are realistic items you can buy locally. My only complaint is it seems a bit dated, such as from the '70's with the color combinations and photos, of course that does not affect the usefulness of the book. Colors can be changed and photos are just for examples after all. It is still a GREAT book for learning and I am thrilled to have it but if you are looking for more contemporary designs I might recommend a Susan Dickens Book or something else more recently published.
Very useful workbook.

From the introduction: "This book focuses on tassels that are relevant to us, that we would like to use for our homes."After reading many books available on tassel making, I found this book to be very easy to understand, and practical to put into use. The author is the president of CC Product Company/Bond America, manufacturer of the former Bond knitting machine. She obviously has explored a number of different applications for tassels and shares her knowledge with the reader. She has developed tools, available through her company, but also shows ways to improvise these tools. Her use of "found" objects (deodorant caps, film canisters,) and common yarns and threads make this craft a fun and inexpensive project. Yet, she also shows elegant heirloom-quality tassels of chainette, rayon floss, ribbon and mohair yarn. Included is an extensive resource list with addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for supplies.The 40 projects are rated for difficulty, have a materials and tools list and show easy-to-follow and beautifully illustrated instructions. Each project is shown practically life-sized and in full color.A truly delightful book.
