Line is an essential component of textile art. When used effectively it can convey texture
tone form movement and mood. Drawn to Stitch is a practical guide to the uses of line in
embroidery and textile art presented as a structured series of exercises designed to help the
reader explore line's potential and develop their own creativity. It covers line and
mark-making tools materials and processes - including printing and mixed-media techniques -
and then moves into stitch explaining how to interpret different line qualities from crisp and
sharp to soft and diffused from raised and overlaid to recessed and inlaid.
