Publisher's Synopsis

MOST OF THE SAMPLERS ARE WORKED ON 16-MESH COTTON CANVAS WHICH IS A PERFECT GROUND FABRIC FOR TRADITIONAL CANVAS STITCHES AND IS SUFFICIENTLY FINE TO USE TO GREAT ADVANTAGE STITCHES WHICH ARE MORE TRADITIONALLY ASSOCIATED WITH EMBROIDERY. WOOL HAS BEEN USED IN MANY INSTANCES, BUT PEARL AND STRANDED COTTON ARE ALSO INCORPORATED. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER STITCHED BEFORE, THERE ARE CLEAR STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS AND BEAUTIFUL SAMPLERS TO COPY. EXPERIENCED STITCHERS ALSO WILL FIND MANY INDIVIDUAL MOTIFS FOR ANNIVERSARIES, BIRTHDAYS AND OTHER SPECIAL OCCASIONS WHICH THEY CAN INCORPORATE INTO THEIR OWN DESIGNS.
