Synopsis
More than 200 stitches are photographed and accompanied by easy to follow charts in this essential reference for embroiderers. From basic cross stitch and chain stitch to more complicated couching, laid work, and drawn thread work, this is the stitch bible for embroiderers wishing to improve their technique and add new dimensions to their work. Stitches are arranged according to their use, including outlines, filling stitches, isolated stitches, motifs, edgings, hems, insertions, flat stitches, backgrounds, and textures. Concealed spiral binding allows embroiderers to read and practice simultaneously.

Review
Feb/Mar 08 A book that doesn't contain bead embroidery, but we felt it was worthy of a mention for its detailed descriptions, diagrams and instructions for embroidery stitches. Divided into different types of stitches, it wouldn't be hard to begin adding beads to a lot of them! * Bead *
