As makers, we tend to learn different stitches over time without
thinking much about how they relate to one another. But when
Natalie Chanin and her Alabama Chanin and The School of Making
teams began to look at needlework closely, they realized all
stitches are based on geometric grid systems-and by using grids as
guides, they could make learning stitches, even seemingly elaborate
ones, as easy as child's play. In The Geometry of Hand-Sewing
Chanin presents their breakthrough method, featuring illustrated
instructions (for both right- and left-handed stitchers) for more
than 100 stitches-from the most basic straight and chain to the
more fanciful feather and herringbone; photos of both right and
wrong sides; and guidelines for modifying stitches to increase
one's repertoire further. To simplify learning, the book also
includes two plastic stitching cards die-cut with the grids on
which every stitch in the book is based. These reusable cards can
be stitched through for practicing (just as children use lacing
cards to learn to tie shoes) or used as stencils for transferring
grids to fabric.
