20 To Make Chicken Scratch Embroidery

Chicken scratch embroidery is an easy-to-learn technique that involves embroidering a handful of stitches on to a gingham surface to create stunning motifs with a lace-like appearance. The size and colour of the squares can influence the look and scale of the motif, as well as your chosen thread colours, and the result can range from beautifully simple to exquisitely complex embroidery designs.
The 20 gorgeous embroidery patterns in this book by Carolyn Forster are suitable for all skill levels including ideas for items on to which you embroider your chicken scratch motifs, including bags, clothes, bunting garlands, table sets and more; with easy step by step instructions to follow.
