Synopsis

Designed to help you move from simple stitched studies to more developed mixed-media pieces, this guide shows how embroidery can be approached like painting, with the needle used as a creative tool on canvas. Clear, accessible stitches and methods are introduced for working directly on stretched canvas, building confidence through small-scale projects.

Alongside threadwork, it covers gathering and combining materials such as appliqué, acrylic paint, fibres, beads and mirrors, with practical advice on finishing and displaying completed work. An extensive gallery of projects is included to spark ideas for your own embroidered textile art.
