The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Stitch Dictionary is the long-awaited successor to The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion, written especially for left-handed embroiderers by embroidery expert, Yvette Stanton OAM, who is herself left-handed. Fully revised and expanded, and now in hardcover, its 240 pages contain about 300 stitches and variations – over 100 more than the original book.

Too often, left-handed stitchers are told simply to reverse right-handed instructions or work in mirror image. While this may work for some stitches, it can create difficulties with others. This book provides instructions developed specifically for left-handed embroiderers, helping them achieve successful results every time. Each stitch is broken down into clear, manageable steps, with detailed diagrams and written instructions showing exactly how the needle and thread move.

The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Stitch Dictionary is the indispensable guide to stitching with confidence. This comprehensive reference offers plenty to explore, whether you are learning the basics or broadening an established repertoire. Its durable hardcover means you'll be able to take it with you everywhere.

Yvette says, "Left-handers really loved my first left-handed stitch dictionary, The Left-Handed Embroiderer's Companion. When it went out of print – I never intended it to be out of print so long! – there was much lamentation around the world. My UK co-publishers, Search Press, suggested expanding it by 20 stitches. Well, 20 wasn't nearly enough for all the ones I wanted to add, so it became a full revision and a new book!"

‘Yvette’s stitch dictionary is so thorough. So totally instructional. So clear. So… everything you want a stitch dictionary to be!’ — Mary Corbet, Needle ‘N Thread
