This book is incredible. I can’t start to say how much I like it. I really have checked it out from the library at least two times before and well, I needed it for excellent! The stitch diagrams are the simplest to know 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!

Bought this so my daughter and I could learn new stitches. It’s excellent for beginners as well as more veteran 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 simple to follow. I reflect that, especially for a beginner, having numbers showing where to place your needle first, second and so on would make the pictures even clearer. But still, we have no distress following the directions, so I would buy this book again. It’s simple 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 fantastic book. It has so many fantastic stitches. I am a beginner stitcher and I am looking forwards to trying out some of them. This book has just about any stitch you could be looking for on cloth or cavas.

I like this book. Fantastic 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). Fantastic for fashion and home!
(Has basic and intricate stitches.)
