The range of stitches used in embroidery has developed over the many thousands of years women have been embellishing cloth with thread. Flat, chained, looped, knotted and couched stitches, pulled work, drawn work, the variety of styles and ingenuity of our ancestors was endless. The Speciality Stitch Collections aims to preserve this heritage by teaching the beginner and challenging the expert.
