Beginner’s Guide to Embroidery.
This is the place to pick up
some fantastic new skills and enjoy bringing a fresh twist to a craft
that dates back centuries.
I was very lucky, as my Mum entertained me with fun bits of sewing from
an early age. Lazy daisy stitch was one of the first things she taught me and
my dolls’ dresses were soon festooned with this fancy stitch. Not everyone
has someone to inspire them in this way, so I was thrilled when I was asked
to compile this friendly guide to share my passion for embroidery.
There are so many exciting things to learn! I’ve picked out the 20 most
popular stitches and divided them into chapters where you can try each
type in turn. Start with simple outline stitches, then progress to the
filling stitches that allow you to complete your designs with glorious
colour. There are step-by-step guides for every stitch, then a choice of projects to
put your new skills into action. Plus there are full-size traces for every design – meaning that
there’s no need to resize anything on the photocopier.
I do have a confession to make. When I started collecting these projects I realised I’d never tried
a bullion knot. I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I followed the illustrations in a
lovely old needlework book. I found that I’d closed my eyes when the moment came to pull the
needle through the coiled threads. But there it was – a perfect bullion knot. A fluke, I thought,
but no, the magic worked again and again. It shows you how quickly you can learn something
‘difficult’ and the satisfaction is second to none. Try it for yourself on page 57!
