Guidance on selecting the right background for your project. Five chapters of stitches, including Balanced, Layered, Pattern, Small, and Straight. Navigation insight is provided for most stitches to help a stitcher confidently manage them. Insight includes sequencing, how to minimize visible threads from the back of a canvas, and/or offers explanations on how to approach variations of the same stitch (as needed).
