Compensation 101: The Art of Partial Stitches for Needlepoint

by Susan Sturgeon Roberts

When working on needlepoint canvas, we will come across areas which the stitch will not cover the remaining section. Continuous lines, columns or patterns are needed. To accomplish this, you need compensated stitches. This book will explain how to incorporate lovely stitches on your canvas. You will learn how to create partial straight, diagonal, oblique, cross and tied stitches. Along with these, eyelets, numbered and petit point are also explained. No book will be complete without teaching you how to craft challenging stitches. "Compensation 101: The Art of Partial Stitches for Needlepoint" also features 20 stitches and templates for practice. Susan Sturgeon Roberts is a Master Craftsman for Canvas Embroidery, The Embroiderers' Guild of America, Inc.

If new to needlepoint or needing a refresher like I did, this book is very helpful involving in the gaps that a full set of stitches is too big for. Diagrams helpful.
