Embroidery : Aari & Maggam Works Instructions

Hi,
I do lot of embroidery like kasuthi, katchi, kamalkadai etc.. After seeing our friends posting some embroidered books, I thought of taking some chance.
Out of my interest I would like to learn aari/maggam embroidery. I have a small maggam, stool like frame and aari needle. But I don't have a book to start learning. It would be so hellpful if someone scans the basic instruction as no books are available here in Singapore and also in Madurai. Googling also didn't help me. Please let me know whether anyone knows about these books in Chennai as well as accessories like aari needle and threads.
Thanks in advance.

Shiksha Creatives of West Mambalam is conducting a 10 day workshop in Aari. The cost is 1500. I will post the number tomorrow. May be you can contact them if they have any books on the same.

Hi Lilly,
I take this opportunity to post me some designs from kutch, kamal ,and kasuthi . thankyou,bye.
Nithya.

Hi Lily,

I found one thread in the internet which gives the instructions for aari embroidery.
The pictures are clear and the steps very nice. Each step is explained as if you are learning in person. I think you can learn too. Display your works once you finish learning.
