Danish Pulled Thread Embroidery (Sammentraekssying) (Dover Needlework) (Dover Needlework Series) Paperback – June 1, 1977

Wonderful "Pulled Thread" reference book for stitcher of needlepoint or surface embroidery. Can one have too many of these types of books specific to there hobbies?? I don't think so. This is definitely a must have for a stitcher who enjoys pulled thread embellishment.

I like the book - just am not sure I will be able to easily follow the instructions. I will give it a try!

This offers exactly what I was looking for with out doubling up on other books to much. If you are looking for pulled thread fillings this is a great buy.

The diagrams are a but hard to read but once you figure them out, you'll realize what a treasure you've found. Definitely a book to get if you want to learn pulled thread embroidery.

One of the very few books on the subject. Lots of pictures but not enough foundational information..

Useful reference.

Danish Pulled Thread EmbroideryEsther Fangel, Ida Winckler, Agnele Wuldern Madson1977"Pulled thread embroidery has been prized for centuries in Denmark for its simplicity and striking results, and can be applied to making doilies, tablemats, and tablecloths, kerchiefs, cuffs for clothing, and much more. This book offer clear and precise instructions and illustrations for 45 historical pulled thread designs, each accompanied by a photograph of a finished section of embroidery made from this stitch. Designs include 18th-century floral designs and abstracts." With English and Danish Text.

Wonderful for a younger person but not for me. Am not able to do close work that requires a steady hand any more. I kept the book and plan to pass it on.

great book, but the writting is very tiny and its a little hard to follow because you have to go from a diagram on one page and picture on a different part of the book

Uno dei migliori testi sui punti di fondo. Anche per chi non conoscesse l'inglese, gli schemi sono molto chiari e semplici. Consigliato!

Unoco e inimitabile. I retini vengono interpretati per la prima volta con progetti semplici e raffinati. Non si può non averlo.

A very good book to have in your collection.

Parfait, ce livre est à recommander à toutes les brodeuses qui s'intéressent aux techniques abandonnées telles que la dentelle de Dresde
