Why we picked it
Ten short lessons for first-time hand stitchers. They cover transferring a motif so it sits exactly where you want it, starting and finishing neatly, the essential stitches and how to choose one for each motif, lettering and monograms, and making embroidered patches. It also shows stitching directly onto jeans, T-shirts, fleece and knits, with ten projects from beginner to advanced. A 2025 introduction to decorating garments by hand.
