Alice Knapp The first chapter in this book teaches the five universal stitches and provides detailed diagrams and learning projects for mastering each. It is useful to practice stitches for future projects and then having samples of the stitches available when applying to personal projects. The second chapter shows quite a few inspirational weaving, embroidery, and needlelace pieces. These will show you what can be done and how the stitches and weaves look on finished pieces. Chapter three focuses on how the five universal stitches where the writer has developed a method of learning stitches with a unique, visual diagramming system. This is were the book is completely different from any of the reference books I have in my home library. This system could be very useful due to the confusion created by the usage of common names. Today there is a real need for this book so fiber artists can find inspiration and guidance to explore the possibilities. This book would make an exceptional addition to the beginning and experienced fiber art artists. Universal Stitches offers valuable information for weavers, embroiderers, and other fiber artists. Starting with five basic stitches -- interlacing, wrapping, looping, chaining, and knotting -- Hoskins explores how each type of stitch is made. In the second section, she examines a number of historic textiles to see what kinds of stitches are used in them, and these are keyed to the charts in Part Three. The heart of the book is Part Three, which contains 50 or so pages of organized charts that show how to use various stitches and variations in weaving and on fabric; each stitch in the chart has directions in text, plus diagrams, and each is coded with a number. There is so much information that it's a little difficult to take it all in, but once you get used to the charts the organization makes more sense. I should note that the book was originally published in 1982, and my review is based on that edition. There is a new edition, published in 2013, which I have not seen. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Universal Stitches for Weaving, Embroidery, and Other Fiber Arts is a text for beginning or advanced fiber artists that teaches how five basic stitches, plus 195 of their variations and combinations, work upon warp and fabric in functional and decorative ways. Part One identifies these five universal stitches and provides detailed diagrams and learning projects for mastering each. Part Two presents inspirational weaving, embroidery, and needlelace pieces for adventurous fiber artists who dare to mix techniques, and presents ideas for combined stitch techniques, driven by ancient fabrics from Egypt, China, and Peru. Part Three focuses on how the five universal stitches can be applied to master interlacing, wrapping, looping, chaining, and knotting stitches with ease. Master fiber artist Nancy Arthur Hoskins introduces an integrated method of learning stitches with a unique, visual diagramming system that greatly simplifies the process of learning all 200 stitches, for use in loom weaving, tapestry, and openwork, or as edges, joins, and fringes. Supported by clear and concise diagrams and nearly 100 full-color designs and samples, Universal Stitches is ideal for the fabric student and master alike.
