I have tried to show this in the photos. This is more noticeable on the inside of the dust jacket as due to the pattern on the front it is hard to see there. The pages of the book themselves are in perfect condition.

About this product

Product Information

Celtic Embroidery takes its inspiration from the visual elements of Celtic imagery - the fine manuscripts, metalwork, and stone sculpture with spirals, knots and interlacings. It explores simple design techniques and methods of stitching, which can be used to translate the richness of the Celtic imagery into fabric and thread using machine embroidery. Lavishly illustrated with over 70 colour photographs, the book covers: Celtic knots, from simple knot patterns on paper to computer-aided design, along with stitching instructions to transform the design into embroidery for panels, bags, tassels and other items. Plaits and twists, using cut-and-twist methods and free machine techniques that can be built up into entire fabrics or used as braids. Key patterns and geometry. Key patterns are combined with knots, spirals and lettering. Plus new materials, such as thermoplastics, are introduced.
