Description

A huge range of openwork techniques to learn and beautiful projects to make. Also known as 'counted thread openwork', 'pulled threadwork' or 'drawn fabric', this is an openwork effect achieved by simply pulling on the threads of the fabric, without cutting or drawing them. It is worked on loosely woven fabrics using a fine tapestry needle, and counting the threads. The effects vary depending on which stitches are used, how tightly or loosely the fabric is woven and the characteristics of the thread used. The basic stitches can be combined into a multitude of decorative embroidery patterns creating elegant embellishment for numerous items such as table linen, curtains, light-shades, and small personal accessories. Some of these stitches can be used to outline patterns and create openwork motifs, alone or in combination, while others are for filling in larger or smaller areas. Pulled threadwork can be used on its own or combined with other techniques: free embroidery, patchwork, French quilting... let your imagination run riot. Although pulled thread embroidery has ancient origins, it is very suited to modern-day decorative use, and opens up infinite creative possibilities, both in terms of the patterns and the stitches themselves.

  • Great reference book
This is a great reference book for people wanting to learn about pulled thread embroidery.
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021 by Sharon DeVault

  • Read the publisher’s description carefully
Read the publisher’s description carefully — because I did not. The inclusion of “inspiring finished pieces” means that there are photographs of many beautiful and well-conceived objects, and not that there are instructions to make them. Sure, I could figure out how to create something similar, but I buy books with projects so that I don’t have to spend that kind of time. All this said, the stitches themselves are very clearly diagrammed and explained, and the information on choosing fabrics and threads is detailed and helpful. Even though I bought it on a mistaken assumption, I’m glad it’s in my library. ... show more
