Having an interest in textile printing,art,quilting and other visual crafts, I found Jean Ray Laury's book both informative and up to date on today's methods of image, computer transfer. This book explains in both words and in illustrations and nice photos.Laury, once the editor of "quilter's newsletter" has proven that crafting on fabric, transferring images to fabric and other imagery on fabric is doable by even a novice. Owning a computer and scanner, plus and ink jet or some kind of color printer would be helpful prior to purchasing this book. I learned how to transfer photos, scanned images, computer images from the internet etc. Quilters will have a blast with photo image quilts. Buy it !

This book is for my class textile technology and design. There is probably more information in here than I will ever need to know this quarter but I will be holding on to it after this class because it is such a valuable reference. The information is easy to find and presented in a format that makes it easy to understand. There are great definitions and many illustrations throughout. The new edition has a lot of information on sustainable fibers and textiles which is the main thing that I am interested in.
