This huge collection of rediscovered designs, plus complete stitch and design guide, will help you create your own unique embroidered artworks with ease.
90 original iron-on transfer designs from the archives of the Embroiderers' Guild!
An important though largely forgotten part of the Embroiderers’ Guild legacy is the huge collection of hot-iron transfers dating back to the early 20th century that were created by members of the Guild. Many transfers were stored away and haven’t been seen since those times; others were simply thrown away. Recently rediscovered and made available for the first time in over half a century, this unique collection includes 90 original designs ranging from the early to mid-twentieth century.
- Contains a complete step-by-step stitch guide to 18 key embroidery stitches, along with a comprehensive guide to using the transfers, hooping up and starting to stitch.
- Gives a fascinating insight into the history and traditions of this important embroidery movement from Annette Collinge, life member of The Embroiderers’ Guild, and former Regional Chairman and Trustee.
- Includes 26 beautifully embroidered examples to inspire your colour, thread and stitch choices, with advice on making the designs your own. Discover how to use outline and filling stitches, work in monochrome, combine and rearrange design elements and use colored ground fabrics for maximum effect.
- The 90 reusable iron-on transfers can be cut out and stored safely for several uses each, making this a resource you’ll return to time and again.
