Customer Reviews

The cover is the book
This book is good as far as it goes. It covers selection of photos, size, printing onto fabric sheets, tiling, etc. competently and simply. The pages are well laid out, with images of the computer screens and step by step instructions. When you have read this book, you should be able to manipulate your photos, print them, and stitch them into quilts or book covers or postcards.

Where it falls down slightly, is that it doesn't know whether the reader is computer literate and/or sewing literate. For me it didn't quite explain enough about the computer side, and yet showed photos of a sewing machine, and sewing needles, as if we didn't all know what they look like!

One bonus is that you get a 30 day tryout version of Photoshop elements 5, which is the program they recommend and refer to.

Its limitations also extend to the works of the authors shown - almost all flower centres. A greater balance of subject types and a few more photos of variations in effect options for the same subject, would have made this a 5 star book.

Wonderful Must have book
What a wonderful Book. It tells you everything you need to know to create wonderful pieces of art from photo's. I have had Adobe Elements on my computer for months and never used this, with the easy to follow instrucitons from this book I have been creating wonderful pictures for printing. take a look at Beth Wheelers website for more inspiration
