Because every embroiderer loves a lovely sticker….the book ends with a set of 12 gorgeous stickers, their designs based on those of antique thread reel labels (with which I am endlessly fascinated), with lovely stitch-related quotes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I hope you will enjoy purchasing this book just to enjoy, but also to fill with your own notes and doodles to inspire your stitch projects.

It can be very difficult to find efficient pens for drawing on to fabric, especially for very fine work, and yet these pens fulfil this role beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e They have super fine tips and draw cleanly, delicately and crisply on to many fabrics without bleeding. They are fadeproof so will not fade away as you work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e They are waterproof so can be safely used for a design which will be washed on completion (such as whitework) without fear of bleeding into the stitching. I love the light grey and dark grey shades for superbly delicate lines for fine whitework embroidery on linen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is necessary to cover the lines during stitching due to the permanent nature of the pen, but this is far safer than using a washable pen whose wash-out properties can be temperamental. The pens also work well on fine silk and silk organza and other fabrics and the black pens work well on darker shades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The photograph shows how fabric can be held taut in an inverted embroidery hoop whilst tracing the design. Your design will often be visible through a fine fabric without a light source, but if not, a light box or other light source beneath will assist, as will working against a window. \u003cem\u003eAlways test pens on a scrap of your chosen fabric before drawing on a large design. \u003c\/em\u003e Available: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003ePale Grey 0.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eDark Grey 0.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSepia 0.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBlack superfine 0.05\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBlack 0.1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBlack 0.2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eBlack 0.3\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jenny Adin-Christie","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 0.05mm","offer_id":54256833626454,"sku":"MARKERBLK0.05","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark grey \/ 0.1mm","offer_id":54256833659222,"sku":"MARKERDKGREY0.1","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Light grey \/ 0.1mm","offer_id":54256833691990,"sku":"MARKERLGTGREY0.1","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sepia \/ 0.1mm","offer_id":54256833724758,"sku":"MARKERSEP0.1","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 0.1mm","offer_id":54256833757526,"sku":"MARKERBLK0.1","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 0.2mm","offer_id":54256833790294,"sku":"MARKERBLK0.2","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 0.3mm","offer_id":54256833823062,"sku":"MARKERBLK0.3","price":2.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/5318\/7670\/files\/0.05-black-2-opt_ea7c8fe8-f396-4bd5-9870-ded1181dfad0.jpg?v=1789484616"},{"product_id":"200-ans-de-savoir-faire-by-au-ver-soie","title":"200 Ans de Savoir Faire, by Au Ver à Soie","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 93-page book is a celebration of the work of famed Parisian silk thread manufacturer, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.auverasoie.com%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7Ce418c4b387004d1f9e0508d845f60a90%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637336270321784893\u0026amp;sdata=box3yEV8KkhAHGcWDHJZWoTpf0qaoxaHExUnbJObsn4%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003eAu Ver à Soie,\u003c\/a\u003e over their 200-year history.
