DETAILS The Geometry of Hand-Sewing: A Romance in Stitches and Embroidery —from Alabama Chanin and The School of Making by Natalie Chanin is a comprehensive guide to hand-stitching and embroidery. This book focuses solely on the stitches themselves rather than projects or garments. It takes embroidery stitches and breaks them down into different geometric grid systems that make learning even seemingly elaborate stitches as easy as child’s play. The Geometry of Hand-Sewing presents this breakthrough method and features illustrated instructions for more than 100 stitches—from the most basic straight and chain to the more fanciful feather and herringbone—photos of both right and wrong sides; and guidelines for modifying stitches to further increase one’s repertoire. To simplify learning, the book also includes two plastic stitching cards die-cut with the grids on which every stitch in the book is based. These reusable cards can be stitched through for practicing or used as stencils for transferring grids to fabric. To create projects in this book, a section of our Variegated Stripe stencil is used. The artwork can be photocopied from the book, hand-drawn using a ruler, or downloaded here. *Excluded from all sales and promotions.• 144 pages• Paperback• 9 x 11 inches• Abrams, 2017• Ships in 1-3 business days INSTALLMENT HIGHLIGHTS • Instruction for more than 100 embroidery stitches • Plastic stitching cards die-cut with the 7 grids shown in the book • Labeled illustrations of each stitch for both left- and right-handed stitching • Photographs of both the front and back of each stitch *Excluded from all sales and promotions.
