My fav embellishment at the moment is clear buttons. I can add photos, pictures, or pretty fabric to the back and stitch them to my garments or textile books. A lovely detail that makes you look closer. I would love to receive this book, I always enjoy learning new techniques and ideas.
Thanks for your inspiration, Babs
Love to use buttons, sequins and embroidery floss !!! look forward to some great new ideas !
Pintucks, buttons and beads mixed in with a little lace once in a while!
I love embroidery and decoartive stitches with various threads. I also enjoy adding the sparkle of hot fix crystals. With 2 little granddaughters, I will certainly enjoy this book if I win it.

Beading is what I do the most. I also love using a twin needle for embellishment purposes.
I like to use my specialty stiches to help me embellish.
Applique and freehand machine embroidery are my favorite embellishment techniques.
thread embroidery on fabric followed closely by fancy ribbons.
I love to use ribbons but am rediscovering all those decorative stitches on my machine.
Using different types of thread weights and types- I’m having fun. This book would be a great addition to inspire more creativity!
I don’t embellish, except one time I found a button and put it on a quilt top I was working on.
I love to add anything shiny and glittery.
My favourite method of embellishment is hand embroidery, including beads and shishas.
My favorite way to embellish is with decorative trims such as ribbon, ric rak, lace, and also embroidery. I like the press-on or stick-on appliques also.
Love embroidery with lots of different threads, also using novelty trims in a new way.
My favorite embellishment is machine embroidery.
