Foolproof Flower Embroidery: 80 Stitches & 400 Combinations in a Variety of Fibers; Add Texture, Color & Sparkle to Your Organic Garden

Very useful book. Anybody can learn hand embroidery from the thorough photos.

Dislike designs nd quality of images

This is a beautiful book but even better it is full of very clear diagrams of embroidery stitches. Jennifer covers the basics of tools, fabric etc but goes on to look at creating the background for your stitching. There are lovely photographs of the completed stitches grouped into sections for stems, leaves flowers etc which is really helpful, it is one thing to understand a stitch but another to use it in the best area. Jennifer also covers the stitches not only made with embroidery cotton in differing strand counts but looks at Perle thread, ribbon embroidery and even bead work. This is a very comprehensive book from an amazing lady. Excellent for a beginner to get to grips with embroidery stitches to the more experienced for new ideas.

Super schon 🌸

This is an absolutely wonderful embroidery book. I have many (many), and Foolproof Flower Embroidery by Jennifer Clouston is like no other. It does not have designs to copy, you can find those in other embroidery books or with an online search. What this book does have is tremendously detailed look at embroidered flowers, their stitches and threads and how they actually look when created. It shows examples of different parts and types of flowers and shows them made up using different stitches and, unlike other books, shows them made up using different embroidery fibers, featuring: stranded cotton, different sizes of pearl cotton, crewel wool, crochet cotton, tapestry wool, and some featuring metallic thread, velvet thread, and even some with silk ribbon. She also has examples of using beads in embroidery. I can barely imagine the work that went into this incredible book. Beautiful examples, beautiful photography. It also includes information about supplies needed, a section of instructions for stitches, and a section about creating interesting backgrounds for your work, if you wish. If you are into embroidery, I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Very informative. Great detail in drawings and photos.

Livro maravilhoso e fundamental para quem deseja desenvolver a sua criatividade no âmbito do bordado. Adorei e recomendo
