The Embroidery Bible
Complete Modern Embroidery

Perfect for you if...

You're picking up embroidery for the first time and need visual clarity on the fundamentals before you branch out into your own style.
You already embroider but feel stuck in the same patterns and want practical ways to experiment with texture, asymmetry, and modern fills.
You make contemporary fibre art or crazy quilts and are looking for a reference book that actually stays useful because the photos are clear enough to follow mid-project.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer written instructions to photographs and find visual step-by-step guides frustrating rather than helpful.
You're after advanced techniques like goldwork or silk shading rather than foundational surface embroidery stitches.
You want a narrative or design history book. This is purely technical reference with samplers, not storytelling.

About this book

A photo guide to hand-embroidery stitches featuring 120 stitches with step-by-step photography. Contemporary needlework teacher Sharon Boggon presents forward-thinking approaches to hand embroidery, offering both beginners and experienced embroiderers techniques for creating new patterns by modifying stitches—adjusting height and width, creating asymmetrical loops, stacking designs, or repeating stitches across multiple rows. The guide includes left-hand stitches and demonstrates how small variations to each stitch can expand creative possibilities. It covers modern fill patterns, asymmetry, texture, and crazy quilting applications. Samplers throughout the book illustrate how to incorporate new techniques into contemporary needlework projects.
