Preface
The most important medium in embroidery is the design. So an album called ‘Embroidery Designs’ was prepared for the convenience of those who are learning as well as these who follow embroidery as a profession. This album was appreciated by women learning embroidery as well as professionals.
Picture plates and explanation of different types of stitches have been given in the book; Various methods of transferring the designs on the fabric have also been explained in the book. Explanation regarding colour combination and colour harmony has also been provided. All these features will help in executing attractive as well as eye -catching embroidery work.
I am also thankful to Shri Shantibhai Gala and Gala Publishers for their co-operation in the publication of my books on sewing and embroidery. I am particularly grateful to them for their encouragement and valuable suggestions.
