This book is an amazing resource, but it has an overall low rating because some of the editions have no illustrations. At the time I am writing this review, I see there are now two ebooks that are illustrated. One of the ebooks is a scanned version of the original. However, I prefer this illustrated version:Publisher: Hyperion Classics (April 3, 2014)
Publication Date: April 3, 2014
ASIN: B00JGHD9RE
This ebook has been reformatted for ease of reading, so you can adjust the font size as needed. In addition, the illustrations are clear and by clicking on individual pictures, you can further zoom it to a larger size if you want. This makes it more useful to me than the scanned version.
There are already over 100 reviews describing the contents. So I will not add more praise for this classic resource, but just wanted potential buyers to know illustrated versions are now being sold.

Encyclopedia of Needlework Illustrated edition by Thérèse de Dillmont Crafts Hobbies Home eBooks Reviews
An encyclopedia of terms and practices of sewing and needlework. Informative and interesting but none of the pictures (plates and designs) are included in this free version.
On version...If you are downloading from there are several editions. The reviews are the same for all editions. I recommend downloading samples before purchase. Some are definitely better than others.
I float between many crafts and I often am looking for a technique to do what I envision rather than envision the piece from the technique. This is great for that because there have been so many changes in the needlework and today's techniques tend to be more casual and eclectic at the same time. This book shows how to do many types of needlework that are no longer common today. I find having this book invaluable in my reference library.
This book offers an excellent reference for many, many types of needlework (covering a range from laces, net embroidery, and tatting to basic handsewing of buttonholes and darning and much in between). An edition without illustrations is available for free (where you can see the scope of needlework covered), but you really want to have an edition with the illustrations, as they are referenced regularly throughout the book, and well, a picture is worth...you know. Of the illustrated versions available here on , when comparing samples, I found this one to have the very best illustrations, with the cleanest scans, proper contrast/gray scale for the best detail, and no blurry or crooked ones (as some other choices had). I also found the layout of the table of contents to be very readable (titles were centered rather than justified far to the left as one edition was that had very little left margin and seemingly an excess of blank space to the center and right of the page). Overall, this provides a worthy reference for someone interested in fine handwork in general, historical accuracy for costume-making dating to this time, or for couture-quality details in their sewing.
When I was in college, all of my friends owned a copy of this book. It was our bible for embroidery techniques (after the Coats & Clark Embroidery Stitches). Anyone who wanted to embroider their jeans or other clothes had this book to come up with new stitches, or new ideas.
If you don't know about the 60s and 70s Hippie girls embroidered just about anything they could get their hands on. We had to patch our jeans (not like now, when people like to have holes in their clothes, and pay for clothes with holes in them), and a popular way was to attach the patches with embroidery stitches, and even embroider on top of the patches. When we weren't embroidering, we might be knitting 6-foot-long scarves, or hats, or sweaters, or ponchos, or whatever. If we didn't like knitting, we would crochet things. There were so many inspirations in The Encyclopedia of Needlework.
My copy went the way of all good things, and, then, suddenly, I wanted to have this book as a reference again.
If you are interested in any kind of needlework, including lace-making, crochet, and knitting, this is the book to have. The graphics are not necessarily 2012 quality, but they will give you an idea of what you are after.
I am so glad to have this book again.
Excellent reference on how to care for needle work. Very well detailed information and much much more. Completes every crafter’s needle work library.
It seems okay. I thought since the version was free, it would be handy to keep on my device. The problem is that the version contains no illustrations, and that is pretty important for something like needlework.
Okay, with a lot of hunting around one MIGHT be able to find all the parts of this book online or in other books. However! Right here, in one book, is the complete set of volumes of Needlework. Clean, clear illustrations (not like a shoddy photocopy or a badly scanned book). If you are trying to learn needlework and finding no teachers around or no one who knows anything about the way it was, then this is the book to get. I've been a needleworker since 1976 and frankly, there's a tonne here I do not know... but I will now!
