Canvas work is one of the most restful and rewarding types of embroidery practised today. It is easy to handle and gives scope for the beginner as well as for the more skilled worker, and thus provides relaxation in this ‘press-button’ age
Its uses are many, from pictures, to canvas work seats, for chairs and stool tops; fire-screens, and small handbags, spectacle cases and sewing purses. You will find that when your piece is complete it will become a new ‘fabric’ that so resembles the woven tapestry that the term ‘tapestry work’ is often, incorrectly used, to describe this beautiful art.
The stitches are simple and easy to learn and no elaborate equipment is really necessary and the beauty of the work is not marred by frequent interruptions. Individual materials required are available on this site as are the complete kits from top UK designers with all you need to complete a design.
