The practical, indispensible, inspirational guide that every embroiderer needs.
Compact enough to travel alongside your needles and threads, this is also a sumptuous visual guide to needlecraft, allowing you to embroider whatever you want, wherever you want.
From making sound stitch choices to finishing your work with a flourish, the techniques within the book are those that the author uses and frequently revisits, and are simplified to ensure that the art of embroidery is within anyone's reach.
If you are a beginner, you will find all the information you need to get started, and soon gain confidence in your skills. If you are an established and confident embroiderer, the book includes plenty of tips and ideas to help you progress your work even further.
Dip in and out of the book as you wish, and follow your own creative embroidery aspirations! The book starts out by introducing all that you need to become an embroiderer, and then explains the basic techniques: preparing your fabric, threading the needle, and even displaying your work in a hoop.
Learn a selection of simple stitches, before progressing to more complex stitches that will take your embroidery skills to the next level.
Let costume designer Coline Bavois, and The Embroidery Stitch Companion, become your indispensable guides to this timeless needlecraft.

About the Author
Coline Bavois discovered embroidery 10 years ago during her costume design studies, and it was love at first sight. Today she is a costume designer for the cinema industry, and she embroiders for films but also in haute couture projects, on top of her personal work in artistic embroidery. She likes to mimic natural textures, using natural items such as coral and tree bark for inspiration. She enjoys working with traditional material in unusual ways, and also uses recycled materials.
She sometimes gets to exhibit her work, such as at the London-based competition, Hand and Lock, where she was one of the final contestants in 2018.
Coline has worked on films and TV series as a costumier, such as Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019) and as a seamstress on the new Amazon Prime serial, The Serpent Queen (2022).
