For this collection, we've concentrated on smaller quicker-to-stitch patterns and we've packed a lot in this 132 page e-book. All of the patterns in this book are the same size so making a matching set would be easy and an incredibly amazing project.

All stitches in each of the twelve patterns contain only full cross stitches. There are no blended stitches, fractional stitches or backstitching. The exquisite detail is created by utilizing lots of DMC colors and the end result is very well worth it.

Each pattern's stitch count is 113 x 201.

Finished Sizes:
14 count (or 28 count over-two): 8.1 inches x 14.4 inches
16 count (or 32 count over-two): 7.1 inches x 12.6 inches
18 count: 6.3 inches x 11.2 inches
25 count (over-one): 4.6 inches x 8.1 inches
25 count (over-two): 9.1 inches x 16.1 inches

The number of DMC colors used varies from 22 to 100. Each pattern is accompanied by it's own "Shopping List" which lists all floss colors and an approximation of how many skeins you will need when multiples are needed.

A project planner page is included at the back of the book as well. The project planner helps you to decide what size fabric you need in addition to other preparations for your project.

I do not know how long ago embroidery started, but I think through the centuries, women have turned to needlecraft and embroidery for pleasure. My grandmother told us that in her days, the young ladies did not work and was taught to do needlework and embroidery. Although times have changed and the love for embroidery still remains strong, women sadly neglect this art as they do not have time. The sewing machine is a quicker medium for embroidery and decorative stitching. You can make a room look homely, cozy, and beautiful with needlework and embroidery. It can be embroidered tablecloths, runners, cushions, table mats, wall hangings, pictures, bed linen, and many more. All these things can become possible to you by taking each page step by step and practicing the various stitches and methods. To those who are already experienced machinists, sewing machine embroidery will be much easier. Others may find it a little more difficult, but it can be overcome with a lot of practice and perseverance. This type of machine embroidery needs a lot of practice, but once you acquire control of the machine and embroidery hoop, there is no end to the possibilities of the work that can be done. I hope that the sewing machine no longer will be regarded as the machine for sewing hems, mending, curtains, and dressmaking but as the means for enjoyment in producing beautiful machine embroidery for the home and family.

This book, intended as an introduction to needlepoint, will walk you through every step of the process from selecting a canvas and fibers to threading the needle to actually stitching. Plus there's a section on troubleshooting.

Now with even better chart images Each design in the Egyptian Collection is carefully created by hand, one stitch at a time, translating Egyptian art into cross stitch motifs. All are inspired by Ancient Egyptian art, including the Book of the Dead (a book of prayers and blessings for the recently departed, not the dark forces that the movies would tell you ). Work a full sampler or use the individual motifs to decorate anything from cards and bookmarks to towels and tablecloths. When you buy this book, the blessings continue 100% of royalties go to the MS Society, helping the fight against MS the world over. Information about the good cause you're helping is included in the book. The glossy soft-back book contains charts and full instructions to complete the full sampler or individual motifs. Charts are in full colour with symbols in black overlaid on colour blocks making them bright and easy to follow. Dimensions are given for three counts of fabric and each key is provided for three major brands of cotton floss.

The Royal School of Needlework (RSN) teaches hand embroidery to the highest standard and is well respected all over the world. It not only upholds the traditions of English embroidery that go back many hundreds of years, but is constantly taking embroidery forward in new and innovative ways. This series of Essential Stitch Guides has been produced in close collaboration with the RSN with the aim of providing a set of definitive works on traditional embroidery techniques. All of the authors were chosen by the RSN and all are graduate apprentices of the Royal School. Goldwork is all about the interplay of colour, texture and light, and it is this quality that is at the heart of Helen McCook's work. The book starts with a historical account of goldwork, then moves on to the materials and equipment required, framing up, how to transfer a design on to fabric and how to start and finish a thread. The main section of the book then covers all of the essential stitches and techniques through clear, step-by-step diagrams and photographs, coupled with beautiful, close-up photographs showing how then can be used in a finished piece. These include couching, bricking, basketweave, cutwork, spangles, s-ing, pearl purl, plate and kid. The book ends with a section in which the techniques described in the previous section are combined to create finished pieces, all beautifully and exquisitely worked by the author.
