Written for the Arts and Crafts movement’s series of technical handbooks, this manual covers tools and materials, pattern design and a wide range of stitches, then drawn thread and cut work, before turning to the weaving of tapestry on a small loom. Christie treats needlework as a serious decorative art with its own history, not a parlour pastime.
Still useful to embroiderers, and a fine record of Edwardian craft revival. Download the free EPUB.
