Discover the creative satisfaction and stress-relieving benefits of
embroidery while stitching fun, modern, vibrant designs such as
flowers, plants, animals, landscapes, and celestial scenes.
Beginning a new creative pursuit can be intimidating, but
Satisfying Stitches takes all the guesswork and fear out of getting
started with techniques designed to boost confidence and provide
relaxation. This easy-to-follow, photo-illustrated guide includes a
review of the basic and inexpensive supplies needed to get started,
foundational techniques, and step-by-step instructions for creating
a variety of stitches. As your skills and confidence grow, you will
find that stitches that may look advanced are quite simple, and
you'll be able to easily add dimension and texture to your designs.
The exclusive embroidery designs include a wide variety of motifs
and patterns, such as houseplants, florals, mushrooms, butterflies,
fish, landscapes, and sunsets, in a variety of color palettes. The
projects are divided into three levels to match your confidence,
skill level, and time. While most beginner books don't go beyond a
couple of easy stitches, Satisfying Stitches takes the opposite
approach, incorporating stitches that pack a big "wow" factor but
are quite easy, such as fern stitch, wheatear stitch, thistle
flowers, and woven wheel roses. Author Hope Brasfield offers tons
of encouragement to beginners and beyond. You'll learn to embrace
imperfection, slow down, and enjoy the process. You will also
discover, as Hope did, that embroidery offers much more than a
creative outlet. Focusing on something that requires imagination,
handwork, and concentration can help reduce stress and promote
relaxation. Satisfying Stitches features: A wide range of
attractive embroidery stitches that can be used to create any
embroidery designs 18 original embroidery designs for popular
motifs Detailed step-by-step instructions with clear photographs
Troubleshooting tips and tricks throughout the book So much more
than pretty patterns, Satisfying Stitches offers an exciting
opportunity to gain new skills, become a more confident creative,
ditch the smart phone, and de-stress.
