Hardanger embroidery is a traditional counted-thread technique from Norway. Frequently used with cross stitch, it has a reputation for being difficult because it involves cutting away fabric threads to create its characteristic lace-like patterns. Bestselling author Jane Greenoff takes the horror out of Hardanger by explaining the techniques in simple steps and showing that they are not difficult at all once you understand some easy principles. There are videos showing Jane demonstrating how to do the crucial techniques. Along with the attractive projects, these help to make Hardanger accessible and fun. Ebook in pdf format on CD.
