All-New Twenty To Make: Chicken Scratch Embroidery - Carolyn Forster - All-New Twenty to Make

From best-selling author Carolyn Forster, All-New Twenty to Make: Chicken Scratch Embroidery is a hardback craft book dedicated to stitching 20 gingham embroidery designs. Also known as Amish embroidery, Broderie Suisse, Depression Lace, Hoover Lace, Snowflake Embroidery, Australian Cross Stitch and Tenerife Lace, chicken scratch embroidery uses a handful of stitches worked onto a gingham surface to create motifs with a lace-like appearance.

Designed as an easy-to-learn, portable project, the book guides you through simple stitches and shows how the size and colour of the gingham squares, alongside your thread choices, can influence the look and scale of each motif. Patterns range from beautifully simple to more complex, with step-by-step instructions and stitch charts to support makers of all skill levels. You’ll also find ideas for where to use your finished motifs, including bags, clothes, bunting garlands and table sets, plus a to-scale gingham template printed at the back to scan and print for creating your own designs.
