The ultimate resource for needlepoint, canvaswork and tapestry
embroidery, packed with over 100 decorative stitches and
techniques. You may have tried tent stitch and cross stitch and
you've probably seen some Bargello popping up in craft magazines,
but did you know that these are only a couple of the needlepoint
stitches out there? This essential guide to needlepoint will allow
you to bring far greater texture and interest to your stitching,
with expert guidance on how to embroider the stitches and how to
choose the best stitches for your designs. Always worked on an
open-weave, grid-like canvas, even needlepoint's most decorative
stitches are surprisingly easy. In this step-by-step guide, packed
full of handy how-to illustrations, beginners and expert stitchers
alike will feel confident enough to give every stitch a go.
Alongside the stitch directory, you'll find all the information you
need on materials and equipment, and 10 bite-sized projects with
full-colour charts to show off your new stitching superpowers.
Author Emma Homent has been pioneering the rediscovery of all the
incredible stitches in her popular #stitchmondays posts on
Instagram. In this book, Emma shares her passion for this
traditional craft in a fresh and contemporary way, with a desirable
modern aesthetic for a new generation of needlepointers. You'll
learn about the tools and materials needed, how to organise
threads, and how to frame up your canvas for stitching. Over 100
stitches are demonstrated with both photos and diagrams, with 10
easy and accessible projects to help ease you into trying out some
of the fancier stitches - including a glasses case, plant hanger,
accessories, gifts and more. Emma also shares her guidance on what
stitches are best for backgrounds, for filling large areas more
quickly, and which are best for adding structure and interest.
Whether you are a keen embroiderer or an absolute beginner, this
invaluable guide is your go-to resource for everything needlepoint.
