"Embroidery is a challenge to your imagination and makes it possible for you to express ideas with a needle. The lessons in this book have no relation to the ready-made [patterns]. The stiches are explained in step-by-step diagrams with just enough text to make them clear. Opposite each page of stitches are original designs showing the stitches in use." - from the dj flap. Includes flat, looped, chained, knoted, detached and composite stitches with additonal information on scaling a design, transferring a design, the alphabet, monograms, and more. Beautiful, almost folk art illustrations are included throughout.
