LIKE MANY OTHER FORMS OF TRADITIONAL EMBROIDERY, PULLED THREAD WORK HAS ACQUIRED A RATHER DULL AND OLD-FASHIONED IMAGE AND HAS CONSEQUENTLY BEEN SADLY NEGLECTED OVER THE YEARS. IN THIS BOOK, MOYRA MCNEILL EXAMINES THE TECHNIQUES AFRESH AND ENDEAVORS TO BRING THE CRAFT RIGHT UP TO DATE, BRINGING IN MODERN CONCEPTS OF DESIGN BUT NOT IGNORING THE EXQUISITE PULLED THREAD WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST. AS WELL AS GIBING VCLEAR AND PRECISE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BASIC PULLED THREAD STITCHES, SHE POINTS TO WAYS IN WHICH THESE CAN BE INTERPRETED 'FREELY' FOR USE IN BORDERS, MOTIFS, TRIMMINGS FOR CLOTHES, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND EXCITING WALL PANELS AND HANGINGS.
