Summary "Church Needlework: A Manual of Practical Instruction" by Hinda M. Hands is a practical manual written in the early 20th century. The book provides detailed instructions and guidance for individuals interested in church embroidery, focusing on the techniques, materials, and designs needed for creating beautiful liturgical textiles. At the start of the book, the author outlines the purpose of the manual, which aims to aid those who wish to engage in the art of embroidery for the Church, despite lacking formal training. It emphasizes the importance of practical experimentation and offers insight into the historical significance of church needlework, positioning it as a labor of love dedicated to enhancing ecclesiastical beauty. The introduction highlights the burgeoning groups of embroiderers eager to learn and contribute to their local churches, setting the stage for the practical instruction that follows in the subsequent chapters.
