It justifies the months, weeks, and days spent waiting for this book’s arrival, including all the disappointment of numerous changes in US delivery date estimates. (All is forgiven.)You might want to know that more than half of Stumpwork Embroidery is devoted to methodology, from using fabric paints to stretching a backing fabric to using different hoops and frames. 5 full chapters take you from just starting out to making your own designs. There is even a full chapter - unusual for many needlework books – on finishing your piece to presentation-worthy status.This infinitely imaginative book is packed with lush close-ups, finely detailed text, and numerous “real hands” photographs. The chosen subset of stitches is adequate for the 10 projects, all of which are gorgeously embellished and dearly conceived. For example, a tiny tin watering can and a wee clay flower pot each get fashioned into pin cushions. Other projects utilize found objects.All skill levels are welcome here. Ms. Richman provides excellent instruction, organizing the 4 project-based chapters according to difficulty. 3 chapters pace through basic, progression/intermediate, to advanced. A 4th chapter is devoted to human figures. It includes the lovely lady in white (22 pages!) and a brief but enticing gallery of work by other artists.Stumpwork Embroidery justifies why this fascinating 3-D form of needlework requires an investment in patience, skill-building, and supplies. Generally speaking, stumpwork is not for the instantly gratified faint-of-hearted crafter on a “no hoarding, no extras, no anything” budget.Cross-stitching, crewel, beading, crochet, knitting, knot-tying, ribbon-work, even scrap-booking. are similar in this regard. Now add up the costs of all those crafts with all their books and patterns and colors and unique tools and supplies, multiply by about 1.5, and you MIGHT approximate the vast economic commitment required by stumpwork.Ms. Richman calls these investments “diversity” in that bits and bobs can be cross-purposed, alt-cycled, and reused. That is a generous term that really only applies to a very small part of stumpwork. Please don’t let this frighten you away from stitching into that 3rd dimension. Advance fearlessly, but with a well-padded wallet.Yeah, with stumpwork, it helps to be a little OCD. Plus having a dedicated work/storage space, scores of friends with supplies, and being willing to forego eating out so often. But this is the nature of a craft like stumpwork. Helen Richman will convince you: O and C are most definitely not necessarily a D.Good list of resources and suppliers, but mostly UK. Fair index, but should have included a main line item for “Stitches”, with specific stitches indexed accordingly.~ ~ ~Kindle vs. Book:~ ~ ~I purchased both Kindle & hardcopy versions. I use the Amazon Kindle for Android app on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S. (Your app and device might display content differently than mine.)All the content is there. But the presentation is very fragmented, with vast amounts of blank space.DOES include the appendix containing templates, which are mostly full-scale in the book version. You may need to capture and resize them via your reader and a word processer (or similar program). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb book. *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2018* This is the best book on stumpwork that I have ever seen. As a Royal School of Needlework Certificate holder myself I even have to say that it beats the RSN books on Stumpwork and Raised Embroidery hands down. The author is an RSN graduate herself and it shows. The instructions are incredibly good. The projects may not be to everyone's taste, but they are designed so that one learns step by step by doing. Absolutely fabulous book. I would recommend it to anyone starting on the stumpwork trail. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive *by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2018* Very fast shipping, Very comprehensive guide for stumpwork. Pictures are clear and complete, Gives modern techniques for achieving professional results that mimic the work of our ancestors. I hesitated to buy another stumpwork book but I am very glad it did. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51016823-stumpwork-embroidery-techniques-and-projects](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/51016823-stumpwork-embroidery-techniques-and-projects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
