Straight Stitches for Needlepoint

Are you looking for a stitch that lays horizontally or vertically on the canvas? This booklet presents 50 decorative, straight stitches. Each stitch is accompanied with a full color picture of a worked sample and clear graph. The graph includes a numbering system, stitch direction and stitch placement. If needed, some of the stitches include further explanation.

Some examples of the stitches are: Pi Array, Chessboard Filling, Gobelin Tremé, Satin Balloons and Upright Gobelin Diamonds Filling. None of the stitches have been included in previous books by the author.

Included in the book is an index with cross references. If you have a question, the author's e-mail is also listed.
