A collection of adorable embroidery motif designs that can be stitched using 11 basic embroidery stitches, including outline stitch, chain stitch, and satin stitch. Choose your favorite designs from a wide variety of themes—such as flowers and plants, animals and zodiac signs, alphabets, sweets, lucky charms, and more—and add beautiful embroidered details to handkerchiefs, fabric bags, and other items. The book also includes slightly larger motifs that are easier to transfer onto fabric, making it suitable for beginners. The foundation section provides clear explanations of how to create each stitch, helping readers master the basics. Each design is presented with a full-size photo of the finished work alongside the embroidery pattern, stitch names, and embroidery thread color numbers. You can follow the photos to check the colors and stitch direction while working on your project. The book also includes 25-count embroidery thread color charts from three major brands: DMC, Olympus (Olympus Thread), and COSMO.
