My gift for you – Simple Stitchery: A Little Embroidery Primer

My new book is done!  I’m so excited!

Inside you’ll discover some help and advice on topics ranging from the right thread and fabric, hooping up, caring for your work and transferring your design.  You’ll also discover a stitch glossary with diagrams, pictures from Jacqui, and clear instructions to help you master some of the most commonly found embroidery stitches.  

Please share it as much as you want – that’s if you like it enough to want to share – I do hope you will.  I’m also planning on making it available as a “proper” book through Amazon – sadly that can’t be free – and I’ll let you know when it’s available.

You can read it online above – or just CLICK HERE to download the pdf file- it’s absolutely free with love from me to you.

Thank you for such a wonderful book. You really did a lovely job. I received it with your newsletter and can’t thank you enough. I tend to use the same old stitches (back/stem/chain/daisy) so now I have a handy guide when I feel like adding a little more depth to my stitchery.

what a lovely little book! and I can’t help noticing that the little girl on the cover is left handed! So am I, and as a child I learned to embroider by watching my mother and reversing everything. Your illustrations are charming.
what a great gift.
