Download or read book Assisi Embroidery written by Eva Maria Leszner and published by B T Batsford Limited. This book was released on 1988 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assisi embroidery is a special form of cross stitch work and uses a method known as voiding, in which the background, rather than the design is worked. The pattern which remains is then outlined in Holbein stitch to give it extra definition. The designs in this book all originated in Assisi during the first quarter of this century, and can be used for decorating table linen, bed linen, furnishings, and other items. The author provides full instructions on working methods, material and techniques, and offers advice on using patterns. Detailed notes and suggestions also accompany each design.
