  An illustrated introduction to drawing and design for embroiderers, explaining how to transform what the eye sees into what the paper or fabric depicts. Based on the belief that all that prevents anyone from drawing and designing is fear, it offers reassuring guidance, particularly to those new to the craft of embroidery. The author - a teacher with the Embroiderer's Guild - covers the basic rules of design including the skills of harmonizing straight lines and curves, conveying moods with the stroke of a pencil, and learning to capture the effect of light on a subject. He encourages the worker to apply the same design principles to embroidery and provides progressive exercises with step-by-step instructions.
