With seven different stitches to practise, it’s one to stretch your skills for sure.
That’s what we love about this collection – beginner or stitch-savvy, there really is something for everyone who fancies having a go. If you are new to embroidery, the techniques section of the book contains all the step-by-step guidance you need to get started. So thread your needle, choose your fabric and read on – give it a couple of hours and you’ll be a practising stitch witch! Jam-packed with hints, tips and techniques, you’ll soon be tackling more than the basic stitches – you’ll be looping and lacing like the best of them. Why not have a go at silk ribbon embroidery, crewelwork, canvaswork or Bargello? Hoops at the ready!
