On Tuesdays and Fridays, we’ll list the stitches from the Stitches for Effect books, organized by family. Each is listed by its name. After the name, you’ll find the volume and page number.
A Combination Stitch is one that has more than one type of stitch in it, in about equal parts. Decorative Stitches are those stitches that are mostly used in isolation as accents. This category also encompasses knots and turkeywork stitches.
