Synopsis

Designed for stitchers who want to capture pets in thread, this handbook sets out the essentials for getting started, from supplies and basic stitches to stitch patterns and colour guides. Across 12 animal projects, Michelle Staub demonstrates how to translate an animal photo into a realistic thread painting, with attention to lighting, detail and personality.

The projects span a variety of creatures, including rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets and lizards, and extend to non-traditional pets such as a hen, hedgehog, snake and horse. Skill levels range from beginner-accessible to intermediate, making it suitable for embroiderers looking to broaden their approach to fur, feathers, spines and scales.
