Crewel Embroidery by Erica Wilson

This book is designed to teach the beginner the fundamentals of crewel embroidery and also to enable the more advanced worker to improve her techniques and enlarge her repertoire of stitches. It tells how to choose patterns, materials and wool, mark designs on the fabric, mount the work on a frame and stretch and block the finished piece. Detailed instructions for 64 different stitches are illustrated with diagrams which give this book permanent value as a reference work. Both old pieces and modern ones are illustrated.
