For the embroiderer who appreciates the value of beautiful stitches but also likes to break a couple of rules along the best way, Rebecca Ringquist’s Embroidery Workshops is a refreshing new resource for both standard and out-of-the-box techniques.
In line with the preferred classes Ringquist leads around the country, Rebecca Ringquist’s Embroidery Workshops teaches the whole lot from the “proper” technique to form a French knot and transfer a design to a canvas to new how you can stitch three-dimensionally, work with nontraditional threads and fabrics, draw with thread freeform, and mix ‘n match machine- and hand-stitching. Also featured are instructions for 20 innovative projects, including a cloth sampler designed especially for the book (and packaged in an envelope on the back), table linens, wall art, and clothing embellishments.
