The Needleworker's Dictionary

For everyone with an interest in needlework, this dictionary is a must. Essentially a book of extended definitions, it combines the "what it is" and the "how it is done" for a huge range of information both historical and contemporary.

What is more, it is unique, being the only modern work to explain the meaning of the innumerable terms and techniques in use over the centuries for all kinds of sewing, stitchery, and embroidery. The book includes 56 color plates, 300 drawings and 350 photographs.
