From the Publisher: We're in Stitches at Dover! Encyclopedia of Embroidery Stitches, Including Crewel
This comprehensive guide features ten basic families of stitches, each further divided into six categories of progressive difficulty, starting with the basic stitch and developing increasingly sophisticated variations. The families include Straight, Back, Chain, Buttonhole or Blanket, Fly or Feather, Cross, Knots, Composite, Couched or Laid, and Woven.
Each family chapter begins with a sampler chart and a summary of the progression of stitches, followed by individual pages for each stitch and its variations, complete with illustrations and step-by-step instructions, as well as notes on rhythm, uses, and helpful remarks. This logical and comprehensive guide offers a very thorough exploration of the world of embroidery stitches.
