This instructional publication is particularly aimed at those looking to refine their embroidery skills, offering detailed techniques and insights into materials and equipment. The book serves as a resource for both beginners seeking knowledge and those who have undergone some formal training in embroidery. The "Handbook of Embroidery" covers a comprehensive range of topics, starting with essential implements like needles and scissors, moving on to various types of fabrics suited for embroidery, and elaborating on a multitude of stitches, such as stem stitch, satin stitch, and knotted stitch. It emphasizes not just the technical aspects but also provides practical advice on stretching, cleaning, and framing embroidery work. Furthermore, it acknowledges the revival of ecclesiastical embroidery in England and aims to foster a renewed interest in this decorative craft, illustrating its content with designs by notable artists.
