Popular Instagrammer Shah introduces the basics of embroidery in this easy-to-follow guide. A basic overview of embroidery supplies is followed by a tutorial covering the various methods of transferring designs to fabric, then a guide to basic and intermediate embroidery stitches. Each stitch tutorial includes close-up, full-color photographs with the needle path clearly illustrated with callouts; Shah includes expert tips for each stitch. Opportunities to practice each stitch are included in the projects, beginning with a series of six projects that use a single stitch throughout, allowing novices the opportunity to practice foundational embroidery stitches. These beginner projects are followed by seven multi-stitch decorative projects, as well as seven projects where embroidery is used as an embellishment on a garment or household accessory. Ready-to-trace versions of each pattern are included at the end of the book.
VERDICT Shah’s projects are colorful and charming, ideal for stitchers who enjoy lighthearted, quirky designs with modern flair.
