Description
Mary Thomas’s Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches is a comprehensive embroidery reference book featuring illustrated instructions for more than 400 stitches. First published in 1934, it covers a wide range of techniques, including border and outline stitches, filling stitches, canvas stitches and pulled-fabric stitches.
Alongside the detailed instructions and diagrams, the book includes examples of embroidery showing the stitches in use. This revised edition incorporates updates by internationally renowned embroiderer Jan Eaton, with a preface by embroiderer Mary Corbet, while retaining Mary Thomas’s original approach to organising and explaining the stitches.
A useful reference for beginners learning embroidery as well as experienced needleworkers looking for new stitches, techniques and inspiration.
