Embroidery Magazine Sept/Oct 2026
- Worldwide Shipping Available
We are delighted to be stocking Embroidery Magazine. This gorgeous magazine is published six times a year and is packed full of in-depth artist profiles, artist’s essays and reviews.
As we head into autumn it’s time to turn over a new leaf with cover artist Jess Littlewood whose giant cabbage sculpture caused a stir at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. And, it wouldn’t be the autumn issue without a preview of the Knit + Stitch show with details of this year’s textile galleries.
You’ll also get to peek inside Claire Wellesley-Smith’s sewing room, while Cas Holmes finds much to identify with in Claire’s new book Reflective Stitch.
A feature in praise of Diana Springall on the award of her MBE and all she has done for the embroidery world makes interesting reading.
Elsewhere, we meet Nina Shope whose work is included in the Frida Kahlo exhibition at the Tate; artist-repairer Anita Johnson, for whom objects have life; and young graduate of
Chelsea College of Arts, UAL, Mia Zeferino-Birchall, who treats computer code like craft.
Deniz Kurdak explains how the blue and white china of her Turkish homeland provides a wealth of inspiration for her stunning works.
And, of course, we feature the Bayeux Tapestry and how it has inspired collaborative works and individual artists.
Meet the Group focuses on Ribble Creative Stitchers, who are rooted in Lancashire.
There’s plenty more to read. Have you heard of ‘Granny Graffiti’? What’s the latest news and what exhibitions should you plan to visit? And how does embroidery feature in bookbinding? Finally, we bring you another Take 5 books feature.

How much is your shipping?
Full details can be found here.
Why is your minimum postage charge £3.50?
We use a tracked service which costs us a minimum of £3.50, even for a letter sized parcel. With standard untracked, we found we were doing a lot of chasing of lost/delayed parcels. Then we have the dilemma of whether to send items again (so we lose out on stock) or make the customer wait (not great service). It is not a very effective use of time and resources when running a business.
With tracked services, goods are insured for loss which is important for us and you as a customer. You can also see where your parcel is using the tracking number, and when it is due for delivery.
Do you ship Internationally?
Yes send goods all over the World. More details here.
How are your payments processed?
We use the Shopify/Stripe platforms to process all sales securely. We accept most cards but if you have problems with an international payment then please get in touch at grace@shopbeyondmeasure.co.uk as we can issue a Paypal invoice as an alternative option.
Can I return an item?
Yes, please contact us by email if you wish to return an item for any reason. Please read our full terms and conditions for more details.
Can I pre-order an item that is out of stock?
Please contact grace@shopbeyondmeasure.co.uk and we will do our best to help you.

I have another question not covered here, how do I get in touch?
Beyond Measure is a very small business but we try to offer excellent service. Please contact us by email at grace@shopbeyondmeasure.co.uk in the first instance as messages on Facebook and Instagram do not always show immediately and telephone reception is not always the best at our workplace. We will get back to you as soon as we can!
