In this collection of Embroidery Stitches, I have endeavoured to place before those artists who are interested in needlecraft an exposition of the most useful and artistic stitches that have formed a part of my own work during several years' study and practice of Art Embroidery. Some of these will be familiar to Needle-artists: others will serve to exemplify how, in process of working, fresh stitches may be evolved from old ones or how, when originality gains ground, entirely new stitches become apparent and workable.
