Mary’s Whimsical Stitches Volume 2 continues the popular format established in Volume 1:

A large cache of previously unpublished stitches from class projects and private lessons
Seven chapters of stitches, including Balanced, Diagonal, Layered, Oblique, Small, Straight, and an all-new chapter on Beading ideas.

Mary includes a fantastic index suggesting where each stitch could be used. The book is truly designed for stitchers from beginner to advanced, and also includes an informative chapter on the basics of needlepoint- a handy reference for all skill levels.
One of the features that makes Mary’s book so unique is her use of Instagram URLs. At the bottom of many of the pages, there is a web URL that, when typed into an internet browser, will show a picture of what the stitch looks like stitched on a painted canvas.

I bought this book to use as a handy reference to venture out of my comfort zone with some new stitches!. The explanations were very clear and it has opened up a whole new treasure chest of adding new textures and twists to my canvasses!
Learning the foundation stitches, Tent, Continental and Basketweave Stitch. Learning the appropriate way to start and end threads. Chooses clearly defined designs with plenty of background and no shading. Likes to work large areas of one stitch that requires no compensation. Comfortable with using floss, pearl cotton, merino wool and/or tapestry wool.
Level 2
Expanding on foundation stitches and learning Alternating Continental, T-Stitch, Brick Stitch and its variations. Learning to read stitch diagrams that also include verbiage. Starting to learn how to compensate a stitch that cannot be completed within a defined area. Working with a mixture of single strand and pliable threads on one project to add depth and dimension. Adding stitches that build off of Tent such as Mosaic, Scotch and Cashmere.
Level 3
Learning more complicated stitches such as Rhodes, Byzantine, and Herringbone. Also adding composite stitches into repertoire such as Criss-Cross Hungarian. Reads stitch diagrams with or without numbers and verbiage. Understands compensation. Adding textured threads including man-made fibers intended for metallic, sparkly, and fluffy effects to projects and can work through shading effectively. Uses a stitch guide for projects and sticks to it. Comfortable plying and or blending threads.
Level 4
Enjoys a good stitch guide but is willing to dismiss parts in order to incorporate personal artistic interpretation. Has a library of "go to" stitches and can work through all variations of Turkey Work, Jessica Stitch, Crescent Stitch and Openwork Background stitches. Comfortable compensating in complex design areas. Ok with random stitches such as long and short stitches. Views a stitch guide as just a guide and is comfortable using stitches other than what is recommended.
