The Compact Beginner's Guide to Embroidery

There's something therapeutic about taking a piece of fabric and turning it
into something wonderful. Whether you're adorning it with a flowery motif,
cross stitching the name of a newborn or creating something colourful for
your wall, the punching of the needle through a fat quarter or Aida and the
rustle of the thread that follows is incredibly calming.



In The Compact Beginner's Guide to Embroidery, you can experience this
for yourself. Regardless of if you're a needlework novice or a seasoned sewer,
we've laid out all the tools and techniques you need to get started. The wide
range of projects you'll find in these pages mean that you'll never be short of
gifts for birthdays, holidays, Christenings or those 'just because' moments.



So what are you waiting for? Grab your needle and thread, that all-important
cup of tea, and turn the page to learn all about the magical world of embroidery.
