WHAT’S NEW
Trish Burr book - Needle Painting Embroidery - Fresh Ideas for Beginners
A companion book to Trish’s DVD
There are sections on Materials and preparation, Introducing long and short stitch, Practice motifs and a Stitch glossary.
This book is aimed at both beginners and more experienced needlepainters alike. Novices will be guided through the basic techniques, with each project carefully designed to expand your skills and take you onto the next stage of needlepainting. The book will also be helpful to those with some experience but feel the need to practice and further improve their technique.
The 15 projects are divided into skill levels, ranging from complete beginner through to intermediate embroiderers. Some of the projects use smaller designs which are ideal for gift items. Step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow instructions will ensure success at every stage.
