Talk:Embroidery stitch

Cleanup

This article could use some cleanup. Things to do:

• Reword the "how to" portions to be be more encyclopedic.
• Remove some of the essay-like turns of phrase.
• Build out detailed, illustrated articles on each class of stitches and link them in as "main" references as they are written.
  • Done, more or less using a uniform structure, still need tweaks:
    • Backstitch
    • Buttonhole stitch
    • Chain stitch
    • Couching (embroidery) including laid work
    • Cross stitches (contrast with cross-stitch, see Talk:Cross stitches}
    • Satin stitch
  • To do:
    • Feather stitch (including fly stitch) Done - PKM 19:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Knotted stitch Done, and also straight stitch, which completes the set. - PKM 20:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
• Build a library of stitch illustrations in the Commons in category:embroidery stitches
• Add illustrations. I would really like colored photos of a mixed-stitch sampler and a crewel-style embroidery made with many different stitches - if you can provide such a thing, please do! - PKM 22:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

French Knot

I have deleted the unencyclopedic "how-to" content which may also contains personal references. It can be seen [1]. - PKM 17:16, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
