"Principles of the Stitch" offers a comprehensive guide to the art of embroidery, simplifying needlework by categorising stitches into fundamental groups. This book teaches you how to effectively employ these stitches to achieve varying textures, light reflection, and spatial relationships within your embroidery.
Markrich explores flat, wrapped, cross, and composite stitches, placing them in their historical context to illustrate their potential. Guidance is given on using colour, particularly shading techniques, to enrich your work, alongside expert advice on finding designs and adapting them. The book covers techniques for the running stitch, double darning, satin stitch, and counted satin stitch. It encourages creativity and individual expression in needlework. With clear diagrams and carefully chosen photographs, this book bridges the gap between traditional techniques and contemporary needlework.
