This is the book to get for all stitching levels!

This book is amazing. I can't begin to say how much I love it. I actually have checked it out from the library at least two times before and well, I needed it for good! The stitch diagrams are the easiest to understand out of any book I have used. This is a book I will go back to again and again. I have been stitching for about nine months and can honestly say, I was able to pick up new stitches quickly and easily using this guide. If you are going to buy just one book to learn embroidery - this should be the one!

Lots to keep you busy

Bought this so my daughter and I could learn new stitches. It's good for beginners as well as more experienced crafters. Lots of stitches that I've never even heard of. It will keep us busy for a while. I like all the brightly colored pictures showing how to work each stitch. They are clear and easy to follow. I think that, especially for a beginner, having numbers showing where to put your needle first, second and so on would make the pictures even clearer. But still, we have no trouble following the directions, so I would buy this book again. It's easy to follow and for each stitch there is a paragraph which describes exactly how to work the stitch and how to use it in your projects.

What a great book. It has so many great stitches. I am a beginner stitcher and I am looking forward to trying out some of them. This book has just about any stitch you could be looking for on cloth or cavas.

This book is great! I am using it to review what I have forgotten.

Add it to your library now!

I love this book. Great for any embroidery project and teaches you all the stitches. I have looked at every single page hundreds of times! And you can really figure out how to make a stitch by looking at their diagrams and photos together (but there are also descriptions). Great for fashion and home!
