About this title

Synopsis

Needlepoint, the enjoyable craft of embroidery on canvas, appeals to needleworkers at every level because of the many techniques the term covers and because of the exciting variety of objects and furnishings it can be used to make. This project-based course covers the full range of techniques and offers a multitude of designs through projects such as chair seats, pin cushions, pillows, samplers, and doorstops.

Review

Needlework encompasses far more than the traditional tent stitch and cross-stitch variations. This comprehensive volume teaches everything from bargello to wheat stitch, free embroidery to pulled thread work. More than 100 stitches are explained with clear instructions, photos, and diagrams. Dozens of projects incorporate the stitches and their variations into chair seats, samplers, pillows, frames, pincushions, covered boxes, and rugs. The befores and afters are also here: selecting canvas, threads, and other equipment, and finishing techniques--from blocking to mounting to adding trim.
