A-Z of Embroidery Stitches has all kinds of interesting stitches to learn and inspire you. It’s a book you will pick up again and again just to learn something new.

The first time I opened the book I was immediately inspired to draw and plan my next project (You can see what I planned from this book here). That’s what those papers sticking out of the top of the book are. I often get inspired from books and grab up scraps of paper to jot down ideas.

The photos and illustrations within A-Z of Embroidery Stitches are clear and concise, which will make your embroidery designs look amazing.

This book explains how to do 84 different stitches, quite a few of them I had never seen before. There are also examples of how to use each stitch in different projects. I particularly liked the cast on rose stitch, cutout embroidery, and the fly leaf stitch.

One of the stitches mentioned inside the book is the “raised cup stitch” stitch which I found particularly beautiful in a piece I designed here: Four Petal Wildflower Hand Embroidery PDF Pattern – Etsy
