Hardanger Filling Stitches - Yvette Stanton

One of the main features of Hardanger embroidery is the openwork, and within that openwork are countless stitches that can be used to embellish and decorate. This book brings together the widest range of Hardanger fill stitches ever compiled.

It includes both traditional and modern stitches, from the very simple to the incredibly complex, all broken down into clear, step-by-step instructions with diagrams for each step.

There are color-coded left-handed (red) and right-handed (blue) instructions for each stitch. A Hardanger band sampler project contains many of the stitches. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, making it easy to learn. Whether you are a student who performs best by seeing (the illustrations) or reading (the words) or both, you can succeed with the instructions in this book. You learn to avoid problems and have the confidence to correct any mistakes you make. Yvette Stanton's expert instructions will get you started creating beautiful Hardanger embroidery fill stitches.

The project pictured will be a Hardanger band sampler, which will include many of the stitches demonstrated in the book. There will also be historical information on Hardanger fill stitches, including photos of historical and contemporary examples; information about materials and equipment and tips and tricks, including really important information about voltage.
