When used effectively, it can convey texture, tone, form, movement and mood. Drawn to Stitch is a practical guide to the uses of line in embroidery and textile art, presented as a structured series of exercises designed to help the reader explore line’s potential and develop their own creativity. It covers line and mark-making tools, materials and processes – including printing and mixed-media techniques – and then moves into stitch, explaining how to interpret different line qualities from crisp and sharp to soft and diffused, from raised and overlaid to recessed and inlaid. Full of inspiring ideas, the book is illustrated with stunning examples of stitched-textile work. Review: Inspirational and Practical - This is the exact type of art/craft book I seek, and rarely find. One that is much more than a coffee table book of inspirational photographs. While it includes those, it's focus is on drawing, line and mark making, and translating that to mixed media or textile. It's for the artist who already has the basics down. It's not a beginner's instructional book. Rather, it's for those ready to make some explorations and push their work further, or in a different direction. For me, as a mixed media artist, it supported my interest in line and mark, and, eventually, inspired me to explore line making with thread. I suggest it's for those with an interest in abstract works, and flick through it to check it includes styles that inspire you. Review: Inspirational! - This book had been on my 'want list' for ages but I had never seen in 'in the flesh' so to speak,and hadn't got around to taking the plunge. Then I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to attend a talk by Gwen Hedley, which she illustrated with slides taken from her book - the work of other artists as well as her own. The talk was fascinating and the work inspirational. The book shifted immediately to the top of my 'must have' list and I bought it right away. I'm so glad I did! I read it from cover to cover and then keep dipping back into it. Don't worry if you think you can't draw. Don't worry if you don't embroider or stitch. This book will help you with any creative process, no matter where you are starting out from. I love it, and I hope you will buy it and enjoy it just as much as I do! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Anova Collins & Brown ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 206,203 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 370 in Embroidery 582 in Textile Arts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 311 Reviews | ## Images ![Drawn to Stitch: Stitching, drawing and mark-making in textile art - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DHcBveGKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspirational and Practical *by A***M on 21 February 2013* This is the exact type of art/craft book I seek, and rarely find.

It is excitingly illustrated and has helpful incites as to how to achieve these processes so not a coffee table book nor overly technical. Very enticing to anyone who loves drawing /textiles/surface design both for the novice and art student but especially for those who can't get started on a project. Wish I had bought this sooner. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drawn to Stitch: Line, Drawing and Mark-Making in Textile Art - Mark Making: Fresh Inspiration for Quilt and Fiber Artists - The Intentional Thread: A Guide to Drawing, Gesture, and Color in Stitch --- ## 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.in/products/48390362-drawn-to-stitch-stitching-drawing-and-mark-making-in-textile](https://www.desertcart.in/products/48390362-drawn-to-stitch-stitching-drawing-and-mark-making-in-textile) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
