About this ebook
Embroidery is the art of decorating fabric or leather using any type of thread or yarn that can fit through the eye of a needle. It is not as complicated as it often looks. The stitches are mostly straight stitches placed in various positions to form patterns and are very easy to master. You will soon realize how easy it is to build on the basic stitches you have learned, to be able to graduate to more advanced embroidery work.
