Drawn Fabric Embroidery

Drawn Fabric Embroidery by Agnes M. Leach

Drawn-fabric embroidery (also known as "pulled work") is a highly decorative needleworking art in which the threads of a fabric are pulled apart or drawn together by stitchery so that the holes left form attractive patterns. This instructive work by an expert offers a clear, comprehensive overview of this rewarding art. Following an introduction to the history and development of drawn fabric, the author offers meticulously detailed directions for working, combining and adapting stitches, borders, outlines and fillings. Over 100 large, easy-to-follow diagrams and photographs make it easy to follow the step-by-step instructions. A perfect introduction for novices, this volume nevertheless features enough depth and variety to appeal to seasoned needleworkers as well.
