Perfect for would-be stitchers who love the idea of beautiful handmade crafts for the home but don't have lots of time, The Impatient Embroidereris full of projects that are quick, clever, and elegant. With this wonderful array of machine-stitch and quick-stitch embroidery techniques, you will be able to dress up anything from pillows and curtains to jackets and jeans. Easy-to-follow instructions help you match stitch to fabric, so whether you are working on cotton or velvet, you can expect polished results no matter what your skill level.
This book does not require an embroidery machine. This book is great if you want to try free-handed techniques to get started, or want to test embroidery before you invest in the high price machines. The look is definately modern, using new fabrics & colors. I am not sure if a teenager would have the patience to try the products, but I think younger people would enjoy this.
