The ultimate, exhaustive filling stitch dictionary for specialist Hardanger embroiderers.
One of the major features of Hardanger embroidery is its
cutwork, and within that cutwork there are myriad stitches that can be
used to embellish and decorate. This book brings together the widest
range of Hardanger filling stitches ever compiled, with more than 100
filling stitches and variations.
It includes both traditional stitches and contemporary ones,
from the very simple right through to the incredibly complicated, all
broken down into clear, step-by-step instructions with diagrams for
every step.
There are color-coded left-handed (red) and right-handed
(blue) instructions for every stitch. A Hardanger band sampler project
features many of the stitches. The step-by-step instructions are easy to
follow, making it easy to learn.
Whether you're a learner who works best by seeing (the
illustrations) or reading (the words) or both, you can find success with
the instructions in this book. You will learn to avoid problems and
have the self-assurance to fix any mistakes you make. Yvette Stanton's
expert instructions will help you on your way to making beautiful
Hardanger embroidery filling stitches.
