Description

Stumpwork is the three-dimensional embroidery where figures are padded with stuffing; pearls and other beads may be added; laces and ribbons cane free-flowing. Muriel Baker traces its history and explains the technical details, including all stitches used, so that present-day embroiderers can create their own pieces.
