Needlepoint is a simple craft that is done one stitch at a time on even-weave canvas. If you're new to needlepoint, this book will teach you the fundamentals you'll need to get started on your first project. In just a few hours, you'll be able to make simple needlepoint pieces that you'll be happy to show or wear. This flexible collection has just stitches that sufficiently cover the canvas. .Because no warp threads are permitted to show through, why would canvas show through in needlepoint? Expert advice on a variety of exquisite stitches is available to help you improve and personalize your needlepoint projects, including rep stitch, fancy cross stitch, Renaissance stitch, cross stitch, Herringbone stitch, shaded stripe stitch, double stitch, mosaic stitch, French stitch, Greek stitch, velvet stitch, closed cat stitch, and more. Where applicable, patterns contain detail shots and how-to images, as well as photos of the final garment. A instructional part covering stitches used throughout the book is also included, replete with step-by-step how-to pictures.
