Review: A Prized Possession - Just like the reviews given!A fantastic book. Could be kept like an heirloom to be handed down from generation to generation. Loved it Review: Not very useful. Wanted to return but item is unreturnable - If you are looking for pillow covers, cushion covers, bed sheets this is not the book which will help you. The embroidery are noted one and mean for bags, pouch, wall frame and so on. It is very small embroidery which you can copy as sample. The cost price is exorbitant.

Excelente
Libro muy bonito, está en inglés pero se entiende perfectamente. Estéticamente es un 10, tiene muchas ideas aunque la mayoría también las en encuentras en Internet. Lo que me gusta es que es un libro en papel de buen tamaño, hojas de calidad y fotografías excelentes. No es un libro para principiantes, hay que tener alguna noción pero si quieres empezar mira algún tutorial y listo. El libro trae en la parte trasera los patrones para hacer los proyectos. Los puntos están explicados bastante bien y también alguna técnica cómo poner relieve.

Great Reference book
This book has very clear instructions for making the various stitches plus an excellent background on what tools you need to start with. It's a great book for a beginner and has some projects for more challenging patterns for the experienced embroiderer. The pictures are clear and make you want to get started right now. If you are wondering about how to make flowers, realistic, she covers many flowers with how-to and hints.
