Hand Embroidery Tip: Best Books for Learning Embroidery Stitches - Happy Cactus Designs

As I've shared before, I taught myself hand embroidery when I was laid up on the couch following an ankle injury. I really enjoyed watching videos because I could easily see how to create particular stitches. That said, I also relied on a number of wonderful embroidery books that I still reference today.  These are my favorite books that are "stitch dictionaries" and cover everything from a basic running stitch to incredibly complex stitches. They are chock full of photographs and diagrams that help you practice. It's also worth noting that a number of these books also cover cross stitch.   The Stitch Bible: A Comprehensive Guide to 225 Embroidery Stitches and Techniques by Kate Haxell Mary Thomas's Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches by Mary Thomas Embroidery: A Step-By-Step Guide to More than 200 Stitches by Lucinda Ganderton Embroidery Pocket
