The materials used are as varied as the types of
embroidery, as are the huge variety of stitches that can be used
to achieve a desired effect.
Part of CGNA's mandate is to help its members learn about the different
forms of stitchery by providing teachers, library resources, access to correspondence
courses and lots of information about their particular interests.
