Hi Rama,

Most of these art and craft shops where you buy your embroidery threads usually have a good collection of embrodery designs / fabric painting designs. Sometimes the books are not on display and produced for your perusal only when you ask for it. Try you luck there..

Hi rama mani

www .inaminuteago.com is an excellent site.

A popular area of the site is an online stitch collection, that provides step by step instructions on how to sew various hand embroidery stitches. I have classified stitches as to thier difficulty and also cross indexed the stitches for people who know stitches by other names will hopefully find them.
hopefully find them.

u have stitches in alphabetical order every stitch u need is clearly instructed.

please see this site & tell me whether u like it.

Most of the bookstores have good embroidery books with designs for tracing.

Dear Poonam,

Thank you for sharing the link on needle thread com. it's a very good site for who love doing hand embriodery.

Dear Rama,

I think you should start from cross-stiching, it's very easy.
Here you can find some patterns (they are not for sarees, of course, just to start) - Makosh.net - âûøèâêà êðåñòîì // áåñïëàòíûå ñõåìû äëÿ âûøèâêè êðåñòîì - ñïèñîê òåì

Oh Prabha

Thanks for your idea. And i am sorry for my late reply. I was not in station. Anyhow thanks for your message. This site is very good. But for designs we have to buy the books i think.
