SYNOPSIS: The wonderful craft of embroidery explained and illustrated with over 200 photographs (40 in colour), instructive diagrams and exciting new and traditional designs. Just buy a few coloured threads, a needle, some fabric and set to work! Find out which suits you personally-free embroidery, counted-thread, needlepoint, Florentine, smocking, patchwork, appliqué or quilting. This is the perfect introduction to the eight different facets of embroidery-the art of adding ornament to a fabric. One of the oldest known crafts, its scope has never been wider than today. In free embroidery surface stitchery is used to embellish a background fabric, and designs can range from a simple chain stitch motif to a vast abstract wall-hanging rich with intricate stitching detail. Counted-thread work, on the other hand, has a pleasing mathematical precision as stitches and designs are determined by the mesh of the fabric. Needlepoint tapestry and Florentine work are forms of canvas embroidery where it is usual for stitches entirely to cover the canvas ground. Smocking is a beautiful traditional needlework which is popular today not only for children's clothes but for fashion dresses, blouses and accessories. Patchwork and appliqué are "rag-bag" crafts where the stitching is less important that the fabric shapes and their arrangement. And in quilting, plain stitching is used to create decorative shapes on a padded fabric. A chapter is devoted to each subject, and gives clear instructions for the related stitches and techniques. These can still be used in their traditional arrangements, but they can be adapted, too, in modern applications, and each chapter gives a number of attractive complete designs to make up. Joan Fisher's Guide to Embroidery is the latest in this best-selling and prolific needlecraft-writer's series of popular books. Her interest in needlecraft began when, as Editor of a national women's magazine, she realised how popular all the craft subjects were with her readers. This interest was further developed when she became Editor of a specialist knitting and crochet magazine. She also writes on other women's interest subjects, on travel and music, as well as romantic fiction, and stories and verses for children.
