CONTENTS: This book is virtually a complete course in Hardanger embroidery. Clear instructions and twenty illustrations tell you everything you'll need to know to master this craft: How to prepare the fabris; what kinds of thread to use; how to block and remove the thread correctly; how to do the kloster or satin stitch; how to work the kloster stitch diagonally, in blocks, in blocks with cut canvas, in blocks with eyelets; how to work mitred corners; buttonholed borders; how to weave double, picot and twist bars; how to do over-and-under weaving; and how to finish the piece.
Following this is a series of 'lessons' in which actual projects using Hardanger are made, including a centrepiece, a border, a table cover, a scarf, a doily, and a lunch cloth. 30 illustrations show details, borders, centrepieces and corners of these projects.
NOTE!! These are PATTERNS only not the finished product nor the materials to complete the projects.
