Echidna P.I.E. August Birth Month Flower Embroidery Design Collection by Echidna

Machine embroidery should be a fun and rewarding experience for all. Join professional digitizer and industry pioneer, Lindee Goodall as she takes you on a 12 month inspirational and educational journey deep into the world of computerized machine embroidery -- Echidna P.I.E. (P.I.E. stands for Premium Inspiration and Education).

In an exciting creative twist, Lindee has based each project and the accompanying designs on "birth month flowers". Whether you are a beginner or experienced machine embroiderer, you will discover that Lindee's teaching is very thorough, well-presented, jargon free and easy-to-understand. Your embroidery skills will blossom as will the pleasure of creating beautiful new projects.

At the end of 12 months your embroidery education library will have grown. And you will always have Lindee's notes on hand for easy reference. If you plan to print your notes, we suggest you buy a 2-ring display binder from your local stationer to store your notes. We've even supplied a printable binder cover insert for you.

This series originally premiered in Australia and includes the Australian birth month flowers. Not Aussie? No problem! The U.S. birth month flowers are also included in the project set.

The Gladiolus is the second in the Birth Month Flower series of Echidna P.I.E. (P.I.E. stands for Premium Inspiration and Education).

Month 2 (August) is all about 'Perfect Placement' and if you have a sewing field smaller than the 200 mm x 200 mm size that the Birth Month Flowers designs are optimised for, Lindee has split the designs for 130 mm x 180 mm sewing fields and she will explain how to get perfect design placement.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced machine embroiderer, you will discover that Lindee's teaching is very thorough, well-presented, jargon free and easy-to-understand. Your embroidery skills will blossom as will the pleasure of creating beautiful new projects. For insipration, visit the Echidna P.I.E. Gallery to see what others have created. If you missed the Echidna August P.I.E. which was all about appliqué you can purchase it here.
