Search Press announces sponsorship of the RSN Stitch Bank and offers exclusive discount for RSN Customers
Search Press is honoured to be the official sponsor of the RSN Stitch Bank, a vital digital archive documenting more than 500 stitches from across cultures and eras, curated by the Royal School of Needlework. Each entry contains historical context, structural analysis, step-by-step methods and visual instruction.
The RSN is an internationally-recognised centre of excellence for the art of hand embroidery. To celebrate the Stitch Bank Sponsorship, Search Press is offering 20% off all items across their website exclusively for RSN customers*.
Search Press takes great pride in publishing the works of RSN tutors and graduates, ensuring that centuries of traditional embroidery techniques - such as Crewelwork, Goldwork, Stumpwork and Silk Shading - are preserved for future generations. The collaboration between Search Press and Royal School of Needlework ensures that every stitcher, from beginner to expert, can access centuries of knowledge.
Sales & Marketing Director Charlie de la Bédoyère shares: “Search Press and RSN have had a fantastic partnership of over 15 years, starting from the publication of the first Essential Guides to Crewelwork and Blackwork and continuing to the brilliant RSN Stitch Bank. I’m pleased that we’re able to expand our relationship by offering even more support to loyal RSN patrons.”
Complementing this archive, Search Press publishes a number of titles in conjunction with the Royal School of Needlework, including these new additions to the lineup of titles:
• RSN Stitch Bank: 200 Essential Embroidery Stitches – a practical reference book featuring historic examples from the RSN Collection and Archive.

Together, they enable stitchers of all levels to access expert knowledge and timeless technique in inspiring formats.
