Product Description
Product Description
The decorative and creative possibilities of freestyle embroidery are explored to the fullest in this indispensable book. Starting by covering basic techniques such as 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 Wheatear 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.

I bought this book because I recently started incorporating Stitcheries in my Patchwork quilts.Though there are lots of projects to do I found this book excellent in terms of what stitch to do when. The explanations are clear and it tells you when such and such a stitch is useful for. It is an excellent book to refer to. The techniques are clear and diagrams easy to follow. If you want to do freestyle embroidery and can sketch you don't need anything else.
