Your stitch obsession just got serious. iStitches Volume Three is a completely new collection of 300 needlepoint stitches—designed as part of Ruth Schmuff’s stitch book series, now in a format that travels with you. This volume expands your stitch vocabulary with an entirely different set of stitches. No repeats. No overlap. Just more possibilities. Browse by name if you know what you want. Browse by type if you don’t (honestly, that’s where the fun is). Tap into any stitch to see the diagram, zoom in on the details, and flip through options without losing your place. Found something you love? Save it. Found ten things you love? Even better. Create folders and organize your favorites by project, mood, or “I have no idea what I’m doing but this looks fabulous.” It’s your personal stitch library—built your way. Created by Ruth Schmuff of Bedecked & Beadazzled, iStitches Volume Three is a standalone reference—one of multiple volumes, each offering a unique collection of stitches you’ll reach for again and again. Because sometimes the perfect stitch isn’t the first one you find.
