First compiled in 1958 from Coats and Clark's original instructional pamphlets, this large book is a comprehensive "dictionary" of stitching of all sorts. It has illustrated instructions and descriptions for embroidery, drawn-thread work, counted-stitch embroidery, tatting, lacemaking, crocheting, knitting, using gold, beads, and sequins, finishing, and care. Comprehensively illustrated in black and white.
