This book focuses solely on the stitches themselves rather than projects or garments. It takes embroidery stitches and breaks them down into different geometric grid systems that make learning even seemingly elaborate stitches as easy as child’s play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Geometry of Hand-Sewing\u003c\/em\u003e presents this breakthrough method and features illustrated instructions for more than 100 stitches—from the most basic straight and chain to the more fanciful feather and herringbone—photos of both right and wrong sides; and guidelines for modifying stitches to further increase one’s repertoire. To simplify learning, the book also includes two plastic stitching cards die-cut with the grids on which every stitch in the book is based. These reusable cards can be stitched through for practicing or used as stencils for transferring grids to fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo create projects in this book, a section of our Variegated Stripe stencil is used.
