All You Need to Know about Bargello Needlepoint to Get Perfect Results

Writing a book that has “all you need to know” about a subject can be difficult; but Florentine Embroidery: All You Need to Know for Perfect Results by Barbara Muller does just that–provides all you need to know about Bargello needlepoint to get the desired results. It’s a terrific resource and a “must have” for your Bargello needlepoint library.

Written as a guide to working Florentine stitches, it is full of valuable information ranging from choosing the right canvas to blocking the finished embroidery. The author states in the introduction to the book,

“The best way to describe Florentine embroidery is to say it is a stepped satin stitch and endless pattern variations can be created by varying the length and step of the stitch and the colors. The interaction of the colors is essential, whether they are subtle or brash…the charm of Florentine embroidery lies entirely in the colors.”

Florentine Embroidery: All You Need to Know for Perfect Results contains 50 patterns to embroider and includes assorted color schemes you can use to create one-of-a-kind Bargello needlepoint treasures. This book can be quite expensive if purchased new; but a used version can be bought here for a fraction of the cost.
