Hardanger embroidery is a traditional embroidery that originated in the Hardanger region of Norway. It is characterized by beautiful geometric patterns and delicate openwork created by following the weave of linen fabric stitch by stitch. After the stitches are applied, the fabric threads are cut and removed, and the remaining threads are overcast. Stitching with a calm mind, using the same amount of pressure and rhythm, is the key to the most beautiful embroidery. Let's get started. Imagine how this fabric will turn out. First, start with the basting stitch, which is the basis for everything. Count each thread accurately, picking up four threads at a time. Everything is connected, so be calm, careful, and meticulous. Features 30 works. Includes large-format patterns that can be cut out and used.
