The Blackwork Embroidery Book

Why a companion?

Blackwork, done properly - from your first stitch to real tonal shading. The book gives you the full method; this free companion gives you the printable tools and a short audio briefing so you can put it to work the very first day — and keep it on the bench, the counter, or the desk while you do.
