Each is hand stitched to the piece of cloth under it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo many of the stitches seem to be running stitches, or basting stiches. The photos here give a good idea of the range of stitching included in the set: nothing is terribly advanced or showy, all seem to be in service of giving a good foundation to the much-needed task of sewing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA few stains on some of the lengths, but overall this book of long, gauzy cotton sheets is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simply marvelous thing to study and to consider, this primer in the art of stitching bestows on the viewer a good deal of unintended artfulness in the way the notes interplay with the base cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50649608749242,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/9422\/files\/Sample53i.jpg?v=1791312915","url":"https:\/\/www.srithreads.com\/products\/an-album-of-eleven-large-hand-stitched-cotton-panels-student-sewing-class","provider":"Sri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
