" As makers, we tend to learn different stitches over time without thinking much about how they relate to one another. But when Natalie Chanin and her Alabama Chanin and The School of Making teams began to look at needlework closely, they realized all stitches are based on geometric grid systems and by using grids as guides, they could make learning stitches, even seemingly elaborate ones, as easy as child's play. In The Geometry of Hand-Sewing Chanin presents their breakthrough method, featuring illustrated instructions (for both right- and left-handed stitchers) for more than 100 stitches from the most basic straight and chain to the more fanciful feather and herringbone,photos of both right and wrong sides,and guidelines for modifying stitches to increase one's repertoire further. To simplify learning, the book also offers downloads for two stitching cards with the grids on which every stitch in the book is based. These printable cards can be used as stencils for transferring grids to fabric. "

Biographisches: " Natalie Chanin is the founder and creative director of Alabama Chanin and author of Alabama Stitch Book , Alabama Studio Style , Alabama Studio Sewing + Design , and Alabama Studio Sewing Patterns. " Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: December 18, 2017 Chanin (Alabama Stitch Book) adds something extra to this comprehensive anthology of embroidery stitches: plastic prepunched grids that crafters can use to ink fabric for the exact execution of embroidery. Chanin explains that geometry plays a large role in her design work, noting that she loves “the relationship among points, lines, and surfaces.” This appreciation for spatial relationships inspired her to develop a grid-system approach to embroidery that breaks down stitches into equidistant dots and parallel lines that enable a “stitch-by-number” mode of instruction. She lays out tools and materials, followed by directions of how to work the stitches themselves, then how to enhance those stitches by working in, for instance, twists, curves, or eyelets. Most helpfully, Chanin shows not just the threaded needle’s movement from right to left but also left to right, plus the backsides of patterns. Her tone throughout is as measured as her grids and as serene as the gray backgrounds appearing in the photos of each stitch. "
