Reviews from fellow stitchers.
Highly recommended
“I highly recommend it for all stitchers! … There are a load of really awesome fonts you won’t find on their site.” Little Robin Designs
Organized and easy to use
“Such a small price to pay for the variety of alphabets in this book! I love how organized the layout is, and that there are descriptions for each font style suggesting how you might use them.” Meagan
Easy to find a fit
“All fonts are organised by stitch height which makes it easy to find ones that’ll fit your project and it includes some blank grid pages for creating your own fonts too!” Etsy buyer
You don’t shop for a font by its name.
You shop by whether it fits.
Every alphabet in the book sits on the page in the same order it grows in real life. Flip until the letters are the size your project needs, not until you stumble on the right name in a table of contents.
Find the right fit, fast
Alphabets are arranged by height, so you flip straight to the size your fabric count and project actually need.
Every project, covered
From 3-stitch labels tucked into a corner to 16-stitch statement letters for a sampler centrepiece, the range is built to be used, not admired.
No more guesswork
Mono-colour, whole stitch, no backstitch or symbols to decode. What you see on the page is exactly what you stitch.
Built to be worked from, not just browsed.

See what a spread looks like.
Every alphabet gets its own name, a short description, and a full pattern grid, laid out the same way from the first alphabet to the last.
Example double-page spread from Lord Libidans Small Cross Stitch Alphabets book
What to expect: the interior is black and white. Every pattern is a mono-colour grid for you to stitch in any thread you like. The book is a pattern reference, not a gallery of finished projects.
Same alphabets, two ways to use them.

Frequently asked
Whole-stitch, single-colour patterns drop straight into any project without extra symbols to decode, and they work with any thread colour you choose.
No. The book is a pattern reference, with black and white mono-colour grids you stitch in any thread you like.
Yes. These patterns work as well for a first project as they do for an experienced stitcher’s tenth sampler. The smaller fonts involve more delicate stitching, so if you’re brand new, it may help to practise on a larger font first.
Yes. Heights are given for the capital letters, so you can pair a taller alphabet for initials with a smaller one for the rest of a word.
The stated height always refers to capital letter height. Descenders on some lowercase letters may extend slightly below that line, depending on the font.
Every pattern is charted at one square per stitch, so you can work it on any fabric count you like to change the finished size.
Yes, you can sell finished, hand-stitched items made from these patterns. You can’t reproduce, share or resell the patterns themselves, in print or digitally.
103 alphabets. One book.
