This complete embroidery course is designed to help embroiderers find ideas and carry them through to a finished piece of work. The book is divided into work units including sections on pattern, colour, drawing and design, fabrics and stitches, and one technique - counted thread - is used to explore design possibilities. Each unit contains exercises and starting points for projects, and a section of 'themes and challenges' will help embroiderers to develop and appraise their own work. Finally, advice on display shows how a good piece of embroidery can best be presented in a professional manner. Other books by the same author include "Embroidery and Nature", "Embroidery and Animals", "Embroidery and Architecture" and "Have You Any Wool".
