About this book
A straight seam begins with the way the cloth is held. Thérèse de Dillmont builds her needlework reference from such practical details, explaining the choice of needles, scissors, thimbles and thread before introducing running stitch, backstitch and hemming. Plain sewing supplies the foundation for the decorative work that follows. Directions attend closely to hand position, stitch length and the tension that keeps fabric smooth.
The preface describes patterns worked afresh for the book, with illustrations and notes on colours and materials. Designs draw partly on private collections and on the craft traditions of different places and periods. Later instructions count rows, shape triangular figures and explain how to join patterned squares.
