The included sampler is nice, but it's missing a lot of the stitches I need to complete one of the author's other samplers. Pretty pictures, basic instructions, I was hoping for more. ( ) In the 25 or so pages on tools and materials, you get the impression that she is indeed speaking to you—answering your questions, and advising you on choices, but leaving the decision to you, Then follows the workshops -- small projects, where you can take inspiration from photos, fabric, nature, and how to move from the image to stitch selection, color effects and affects. Her choices of projects, and her personal style is not mine, but it is a strong basis to start from, and a big help when it comes to finishing any embroidered item. no reviews | add a review
For the embroiderer who appreciates the value of beautiful stitches but also likes to break a few rules along the way, Rebecca Ringquist's Embroidery Workshops is a refreshing new resource for both standard and out-of-the-box techniques. Based on the popular classes Ringquist leads across the country, Rebecca Ringquist's Embroidery Workshops teaches everything from the "proper" way to form a French knot and transfer a design to a canvas to new ways to stitch three-dimensionally, work with non-traditional threads and fabrics, draw with thread freeform and mix and match machine- and hand-stitching.Also featured are instructions for 20 innovative projects, including a cloth sampler designed especially for the book (and packaged in an envelope at the back), table linens, wall art and clothing embellishments.
