    Description

    Learn how to stitch 20 beautiful gingham embroidery designs with best-selling author Carolyn Forster.

    Chicken scratch embroidery, also known as Amish embroidery, Broderie Suisse, Depression Lace, Hoover Lace, Snowflake Embroidery, Australian Cross Stitch and Tenerife Lace, is a wonderfully accessible technique. By stitching a small selection of simple stitches onto gingham fabric, you can create delicate motifs with a distinctive lace-like appearance. The size and colour of the gingham squares, together with your choice of thread, allow each design to range from beautifully simple to surprisingly intricate.

    This inspiring collection features 20 embroidery patterns suitable for all skill levels. Clear step-by-step instructions and detailed stitch charts guide you through each design, making the book perfect for beginners as well as experienced stitchers looking for a portable, relaxing project.

    The book also includes ideas for using your finished embroidery on bags, clothing, bunting garlands, table settings and more. For those who would like to experiment with their own designs, a to-scale gingham template is printed at the back of the book so you can scan, print and create your own motifs.
