And the book addresses whitework in this way – general whitework techniques. In the introduction, the author clarifies that “whitework is an umbrella term” for white-on-white embroidery. Throughout the book, gorgeous examples of whitework serve as inspiration. The book begins with an introduction, followed by a short history of whitework. Instructional books are meant to be used during work, and being able to easily lay the book open on the table is a nice, thoughtful detail.īut let’s move inside the book, where the meat of the matter is. I know book aesthetics aren’t everything, but I appreciate this detail. I admit, I love the size and binding of these books! The books are about 9″ tall and 6″ wide, and the binding is that “full Canadian” spiral binding – they’re bound with wire rings, but the outside cover covers up the spiral, so you really only see it when you open the book. Like the other books in the Essential Stitch Guide series, Whitework is a small book with hard board covers and a spiral binding. I figured if this book measures up to the other Stitch Guides produced by the RSN, then it’s bound to be a keeper! ![]() As soon as I heard the book was out, I ordered a copy right away – not only to review it for you, but also (and especially) because I love whitework. The new title is Whitework, by Lizzy Lansberry. The Royal School of Needlework has added to their collection of Essential Stitch Guides lately.
