  The volumes in this series are intended either as stand-alone works on various aspects of needlework, or as a set. This guide to embroidery introduces the materials, equipment and basic techniques of the craft, progressively building skills and applying them to the projects suggested. Traditional and modern designs are covered, and projects include table-cloths and curtains, throws and bedspreads, and buttons embroidered with flowers and monograms. All instructions, both for the stitches and techniques, and for the projects, are clearly explained and illustrated with step-by-step colour artwork and photographic details.
