{"product_id":"schiffer-publishing-embroidery-handbook-for-brginners","title":"Embroidery Handbook for Brginners","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatherine Guidicelli structures this handbook around the actual sequence of an embroidery project, material selection, design transfer, execution, and finishing. That practical organization means you're not hunting through chapters when you need to know how to prep your hoop or secure a knot. The book dedicates substantial space to 25 fundamental stitches with their variations, each demonstrated through clear diagrams that show needle position and thread path. You'll work through backstitch, chain stitch, and French knots with enough detail to troubleshoot when something doesn't look right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly chapters address the decisions that affect every project: fabric weight and weave, thread types and their handling characteristics, transfer methods that won't damage delicate materials. Once you've mastered the basics, Guidicelli introduces embellishment techniques, bead application, sequin attachment, punch needle textures, and tapestry integration. These aren't superficial overviews; each technique receives focused instruction for immediate application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact 7x9 format stays manageable beside your work without sacrificing diagram clarity. At 96 pages, the book maintains focus on techniques you'll use repeatedly rather than attempting encyclopedic coverage. Beginners gain a structured foundation; experienced stitchers find a reliable reference for techniques they use occasionally. The paperback binding opens flat during stitching sessions, keeping your hands free for actual work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schiffer Publishing","offers":[{"title":"each","offer_id":47985806115045,"sku":"49387","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/schiffer-publishing-embroidery-handbook-for-brginners","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
