'Stitches for Embroidery' provides a reference of ideas for popular subjects used in embroidery. The emphasis is on creating effects with stitches rather than learning stitches for their own sake. Am embroidery worked in several variations of the one stitch can often be more effective than one using ten different stitches.
The twenty stitches used in the book are each varied in numerous ways throughout the different sections. The book is divided into sections covering many of the most-used subjects in embroidery. Each section features a sampler of stitches suitable for embroidering the subject, a finished embroidery, and frequently another small embroidery and a photograph to set you thinking.
