Synopsis

Designed for stitchers of all abilities, this guide covers the fundamentals of cross stitch with clear, practical instruction, including materials, tools, techniques and colour blending. It also explores more experimental approaches, introducing urban influences and alternative surfaces and threads, including glow-in-the-dark options and stitching on metal.

Alongside more than 20 cutting-edge projects, Jamie Chalmers explains how to develop your own designs using photographs and other images as reference, and highlights the work of contemporary makers who are extending what cross stitch can be. With an entertaining, encouraging tone, it is intended to appeal to both men and women, from complete beginners to experienced embroiderers looking to try something different.
