Not to Good April 12, 2005
14 out of 14 found this review helpful

If you're already into transfering images to fabric, this book won't tell you much more than you already know. It's main focus is store bought heat transfer sheets. I wanted more. I also have "Fabric Photos" by Marjorie Croner, which is a far better book and goes into different ways to transfer using mending tape and fabric. It does have some good images in the back you can use, but I like my own better. Skip it, look for something with more detail.

Graphic Design Meets Crafting August 31, 2002
32 out of 33 found this review helpful

As a graphic designer I was drawn to this title. I've always wanted to try my hand at some home furnishing projects but thought I would just make a mess with out the benefit of Edit > Undo on my Mac. Livia McRee took me step by step through my first project (Stone tile coasters p. 58) and I was amazed when they were done. Totally cool 50s clip art on coasters. I love it. SUPER BONUS: the book is filled with full color pages of great artwork like vintage luggage lables, indian folk art, and old time illustrations that you can xerox or scan for use in the projects. People won't believe you when you tell them you made this stuff!

actually easy & great free artwork! August 31, 2002
When people say this stuff is easy, I think, "maybe for you"! But this book is. I also thought I would have to use chemicals or find a bunch of stuff to do the transfers, but all the techniques are safe and the products are easy to find. I really like the free artwork in the back, too; lots of interesting and funky stuff.

this book is derivative of the wonderful "transfer" by isabel de cordova- which is the best book on this subject i've seen- ms. cordova's book has more clever ideas and much better design.

Easy transfers for any Surface June 12, 2002

Transfers! Who can resist them! Even as children we were interested in this craft. Well, this book is not for children, no, it is for all of us adult crafters that aspire to produce spectacular work with ease and satisfaction!
