It’s an opportunity to listen to yourself and maybe get glimpses into your singular and powerful imagination that you would not otherwise get. In the meantime, I hope this blog post has given you some tips and encouragement to try making these gorgeous books.

If i start a book with 5 Fall leaves, then 5 Winter leaves, etc (ok- those will be brown), should assemble a Leaf Diary. Great Reference Tool– Use the sewn Stitch Book as a reference when looking for a perfect stitch for your next project. The book is beautifully illustrated and includes clear instructions on a variety of embroidery techniques. I need to slow down, and 15 minutes will be peaceful rather than pressuring myself to do as much as possible til my hands hurt.

Embroidery is a very old style of needlework that many sewers are intimidated by, but any sewer can master with practice and the right instruction. This is a published work produced by a commercial printer, but it demonstrates that a Stab Stitch book will lie open on a desk, if its page size and weight provide sufficient drape. I have had some people say variegated thread is pretty but takes away from the shape of the decorative stitches.

In our next session, I'll b e introducing my group to the Tortoiseshell Japanese Stab Stitch pattern. On Sunday afternoons a few years ago you would have found me sharing the joys of making Japanese Stab Stitch books with a small group of craft lovers at Artisan Community Art Studio in Dorset. I've seen these kind of books before and thought they were a great idea and I also love how tactile they are.

I hope you enjoyed this introduction to Japanese Stab Stitch books and the types of materials you could use to make them, as well as finding ways to overcome common problems encountered when making this type of book. I'm not brilliant with numbers, yet with practice I've become proficient at making the calculations required to make all sorts of books. We have filmed a Bernina Stitching Cosmos online course, a Pfaff Stitching Cosmos online course, and a Husqvarna Viking Stitching Cosmos online course.
