ONE HUNDRED EMBROIDERY STITCHES – published COATS &
CLARK’S BOOK No.150-B, published 1979, original cost 60 cents.
A few months ago I purchased an embroidery sampler book with
a wide variety of stitches, I want to finish the book BUT many of the stitches
I did not know and could not find a lesson on how to do them. I have searched YouTube and purchased books
to no avail, until I discovered this used book.
ONE HUNDRED EMBROIDERY STITCHES my not have all the stitches
I need but it has many of them. What I am discovering is the best book for
learning how to do various stitches are often out of print books. Thus, sources
like WORLD OF BOOKS and THRIFT BOOKS, there may be others will have books for
how things used to be before machines took over. I have found this to be true with quilting
and applique as well.
ONE HUNDRED EMBROIDERY STITCHES arrived encased in a plastic
envelope, my plan is to have a printer duplicate the booklet, 33 pages, to
preserve this classic book. WHAT A FIND!
*Note This book is available at various prices and there is also 1964 version that I will be ordering after I post this review. Same title, cost $4 original cost 35 cents.
