Embroidery and Tapestry Weaving; A Practical Textbook of Design and Workmanship

by Grace Christie

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

I can see why this was the book for it's day. The history was really indepth and the methods were interesting to look at.

A very in depth technical treatise on embroidery techniques. I read the kindle version so there were no illustrations which was disappointing, but a really good book non-the-less. It was written in 1905.

A very thorough introduction to embroidery and tapestry weaving. Unfortunately the Kindle version does not provide any of the many illustrations that are referenced throughout the book. I think that, with the aid of illustrations, one could successfully begin the crafts described.
