Description

Fans of Elisabetta Sforza’s exquisite monograms will be delighted to hear she has a new book out, The ABC of Padded Stitch. It’s printed in both Italian and English, and sets out her approach to padded satin stitch, monograms in particular.

It’s full of beautiful illustrations, with full explanations, step-by-step instructions and exercises to help you develop your skills in this tricky stitch. There’s even a sampler to give students a practice piece to work through the principles and understand them fully.

She offers eleven different alphabets, of increasing complexity, each with photographs of letters from them stitched in projects so you can see how they work out in practice. There are lots of variations too, with different embellishments which can be used on any letter.

Elisabetta’s other books are also available. A Flower Alphabet, A Sea to Stitch and In a Wheatfield.
