Synopsis

The filling stitches in this book were developed to show the creative needlewoman what interesting embroidery can be obtained from the kind of everyday things which are so often taken for granted. These stitches are intended to stimulate the imagination; they are a means to an end rather than an end in themselves. Exceptionally clear line drawings, accompanied by brief explanatory captions, illustrate the three sections on, respectively, Couched Fillings, Lacy and Miscellaneous Filings, and Canvas Stitches. Sixteen pages of photographs demonstrate some of the ways in which these new filling stitches can be applied.
