Breaking News: The Embeliishment Squad Has a Book UPDATED

Meredith Willett, Tony Minieri and Suzanne Willett, aka The Embellishment Squad, have teamed up to produce a book of their original stitches.  The title is Master Stitches From the Squad Volume 1 and copies are expected in mid- to late July 2022.

These are all most likely original stitches that the Embellishment Squad have created during their years of teaching embellishment classes.  

UPDATE:  Park Avenue Needlepoint posted a good photo of two pages so you can see what the charts are like.

Stitches for Fur

Melita has listed stitches she thinks good for fur on her blog.

I like long and short myself, done in cotton floss (one ply only) in layers.  You can always go back and add more thread that way to correct something you don't like.
