A needle, a scrap of linen, and half a dozen stitches is all it takes to begin: a favourite that carries a complete beginner from first outline to original design. Discovering Embroidery distils experience into a graded course: simple stitches first, then more complicated ones, then filling stitches, with chapters on designing from cut paper, special techniques, finishings, and the many uses a worked motif can be put to. Everything is worked by hand in materials a beginner can find easily, and the emphasis throughout is on inventing your own motifs rather than copying a transfer. This edition features:A graded course in hand stitches, from simple outlines through filling stitches to harder work Chapters on designing with cut paper, so that beginners create their own motifs rather than copy them Guidance on finishings, and on the many ways a finished piece of embroidery can be put to use A practical introduction for teachers, new stitchers, and anyone drawn to mid-century needlecraft
