Needlecrafter's Computer Companion: How to Use Your Computer for Sewing, Quilting, and Other Needlecrafts [With *]

This book has provided me with the tools to combine two of my favorite activities and make each one more enjoyable. Needlework and computers seem about as far apart as any two interests can be, but now I am aware of just how many others there are who enjoy both pasttimes and combine the two for even more enjoyment. The book is broken down into sections dealing with the various needlework disciplines, e.g. cross stitch, needlepoint, quilting, knitting, sewing, etc. Heim tells how to utilize the computer to enhance your enjoyment of your favorite needlecraft and does it in a very straightforward manner that even the novice computer user can follow. If you have ever wanted to put your computer to work designing beautiful needlework, or even if you have never thought to try, this is the ultimate source for the knowledge to do so. She also provides a world of references to locate software for almost any computer from Tandy's to Pentium II's.
