by Joan Gordon
Part of the Anchor Embroidery Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The decorative and creative possibilities of freestyle embroidery are explored to the fullest in this indispensable book.
Starting by covering basic techniques such a selecting fabrics and threads, transferring an embroidery design to fabric, and working with a hoop or frame, it goes on to explain 48 stitches in step-by-step detail.
These are listed alphabetically, from Antwerp Edging to Whearear Stitch, for ease. It is often said that an embroiderer can create beautiful work from just a few stitches; however the 16 new and original designs included show just how effective the varied selection of stitches can be to add texture to a design and take embroidery into another dimension.
Celebration designs, fantastic flowers and lovely landscapes will inspire the embroiderer to begin extending their stitch repertoire today.
