All-New Twenty To Make: Chicken Scratch Embroidery
Learn how to stitch 20 gorgeous gingham embroidery designs with best-selling author, Carolyn Forster!
Chicken scratch embroidery (known also as Amish embroidery, Depression Lace, Hoover Lace, Snowflake embroidery Australian Cross Stitch and Tenerife Lace) is an easy-to-learn technique that involves embroidering and weaving a handful stitches on to a gingham surface to create stunning motifs with a lace-like appearance.
The 20 gorgeous embroidery patterns in this book are suitable for all skill levels, and include:
- easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions
- clear stitch charts
- ideas for items on to which you embroider your chicken scratch motifs, including bags, clothes, bunting garlands, table sets and more.
- For budding chicken-scratch designers, a 1/4in (5mm) square gingham template is printed at the back of the book for you to scan and print, so you can create your own chicken scratch masterpieces!
