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.
