Description

The Royal School of Needlework's comprehensive guide to silk shading is now available in a larger format edition. This essential resource covers the beautiful craft of thread-painted embroideries, also known as painting with a needle or long and short stitch embroidery. Sarah Homfray explains the history of this traditional technique, followed by an overview of materials and equipment required. The book then delves into design and color, simplifying a complex area often overlooked in embroidery. Clear step-by-step diagrams and photographs illustrate all the essential stitches and techniques, along with beautiful examples of how they can be used to create finished pieces. The guide includes key traditional techniques such as stab, split, long and short stitches, couching, padding, adding beads and sequins, and knots, as well as working with different fabrics, threads, and incorporating painted backgrounds.
