Editorial Reviews:

Starting with just four of these stitches, this guide clearly demonstrates, with detailed step-by-step photographs, how to work up a complete project. Instructions follow on showing how to stretch and mount your first embroidery. Using further projects she helps you build up skills, introducing new stitches in each section. Line drawings accompany each design and are used as a guide for the stitches. The designs and colors used are traditional - reminiscent of the embroidery worked by embroiderers during the Tudor period, wonderful floral pictures worked in wool and soft colors. The book is a comprehensive introduction to this lovely technique and at the same time it offers embroiderers practical help with presentation and finishing.

Very Good Primer for Crewel Embroidery Feb 10, 2010

Very Good Primer for Crewel Embroidery with progressive projects introducing new stitches with each section. I have a number of years of experience with sewing and have dabbled with embroidery on a small scale - mostly just outline type stitches. Wanting to expand into crewel work, I was looking for a book that would allow me to progress with some insight and found just that in this book. Jane's turn of a phrase is a bit quirky for an American reader - I find her charming and understood her well. She has a nice writing and teaching style and is certainly very knowledgable and talented. I'm very satisfied with the purchase of this book and believe a new "stitcher" will be able to follow and learn.

easy to follow instructions Jun 23, 2009

the book enable anyone , even those who are not familiar with crewel embroidery, to easily learn and master the art. The instructions are easy to understand and to follow and the book itself is pleasant to look at and to read

a good beginner's guide Jun 09, 2009

A very good guide for the beginner or even intermediate embroiderers. A very detailed step-by-step instructions, a very good guide for the materials. Although I could have done with one of the more intricate pattern in the book all the floral pattern are just beautiful and very inspiring. A good start for crewel embroidery and jacobean style.

Now for the time Dec 21, 2007

This is an absolutely beautiful book, and more than that, the instructions are simple to follow and the included patterns suit my taste.

Fantastic beginners book Feb 14, 2006

This is definately a fantastic book for beginners looking at starting this craft. The book gives you a clear description of the tools you should look at obtaining, then with an embroidery hoop I completed my first piece in two evenings and it looks great! It doesn't have a lot of designs, but has all the basic stitches (step by step) and plenty of inspiration. One design is worked in three different colour combinations and stitch styles giving you all the background you need to start off with Crewel Embroidery.
