Mary’s Whimsical Stitches Volume 3 builds on the format established in the first two books and offers additional insight. Content includes:
Updated and sequenced diagrams from the #whimsicalwednesday blog
A large cache of previously unpublished stitches from class projects and private lessons
Upgraded navigation insight. In addition to the broad insight provided in the intro, navigation insight is provided on select individual stitches to help a stitcher confidently manage the stitch. Navigation insight ranges from open stitch sequencing and tricks to minimize visible threads from the back of the canvas, help with complex stitches, and/or offer explanations on how to approach variations of the same stitch (as needed).
Seven chapters of stitches, including Balanced, Diagonal, Layered, Oblique, Small, Straight, and an all-new chapter on Pattern Stitch ideas.
The popular chapter and alphabetical indexes are included in Volume 3. Full coverage stitches have been called out in the indexes so they will be easier to find.
