The New Anchor Book of Freestyle Embroidery Stitches
The decorative and creative possibilities of freestyle embroidery are explored to the fullest in this indispensable book. Starting by covering basic techniques such as selecting fabrics and threads, transferring an embroidery design to fabric, and working with a hoop or frame, it goes on to explain 48 stitches in step-by-step detail. These are listed alphabetically, from Antwerp Edging to Wheatear Stitch, for ease. It is often said that an embroiderer can create beautiful work from just a few stitches; however the 16 new and original designs included show just how effective the varied selection of stitches can be to add texture to a design and take embroidery into another dimension. Celebration designs, fantastic flowers and lovely landscapes will inspire the embroiderer to begin extending their stitch repertoire today.

The smaller book still works well
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am still using the smaller version of this book that I bought from the U.K. It is only smaller in diameter there are over 200 pages. The pictures are glossy color. With full descriptions and diagrams in the embroidery stitching vernacular. The chapters or pages are sorted by the different types of stitches. If you are just casually interested there is a great introductory with history and descriptions of what make Hardangar embroidery unique. "Hardangar embroidery takes its name from the area surrounding the Hardangar fiord in western Norway."
