Free Book – Picture Dictionary of Hand Embroidery Stitches

December 2, 2021 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

This book is available free on Kindle.

This handbook is for you to quickly identify hand embroidery stitches by their names and appearance. The stitches are categorized into various Stitch Families to make your search and reference easier. That’s more than 200 Stitches in 17 Stitch Families.

Hey, wait, this book is more than just a dictionary. A click on any embroidery stitch will lead you to the step-by-step tutorials @ Sarah’s Hand Embroidery Tutorials.

Note that the Picture Dictionary is just a dictionary, as mentioned in the title and description. It helps you in identifying 200 stitches, and also has links to a decade of tutorials for each individual stitch. In case you are looking for a comprehensive book with individual instructions, we have a 600-page book with step-by-step instructions and photographs to each stitch.
