Can anyone suggest a good book about thread art? I have "Custom thread Art" by Dale Clemens but I am finding it a bit difficult to understand the patterns he describes. I remember reading a post on here about a book that is similar but a bit easier to follow. I did a search but came up empty.

Thanks
Mike M.

Thanks guys.

I'm trying to follow the patterns that he has in the back of the book and my results are spotty at best. I'm not sure what I don't understand so maybe another set of guidelines will help me out. I've had some success with the basics he describes but the more complex patterns are not turning out.

Thanks for the info
Mike

If any supplier is backordered on Decorative Wraps please forgive me - I am currently out of copies and am waiting for a new batch from the printer. I apologize to anyone and any supplier if they have to wait, I dropped the ball and let my supply run out and didn't reorder quick enough.
