Counted-Thread Embroidery

ISBN# 0-312-01236-5
One of the best basic books on counted thread work that I’ve found. While modern in approach to the design and stitch use, it very clearly walks through all the techniques fo making the stitching work well. Includes instructions on finishing including basic finger loop braiding and tassels. SB
