Book Reviews of Complete Guide to Needlework
Book Review: Great reference for a beginner stitcher
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is packed full of information - from projects, hints and tips, and techniques for creating your own designs. The best part: detailed embroidery stitch guides which guide you though each stitch with a combination of pictures (usually 6 per stitch) and instructions. While looking for a needlework instruction book, none of the other books could compare. Either they lacked a variety of stitches or they did not have enough pictures to serve as a self-teaching guide for a visual learner with little sewing experience. Although I was primarily interested in the embroidery section, I love that this book covers a breadth of needlework crafts to explore. I keep a tightly pruned bookshelf - only purchasing and keeping books that I will refer to again and again. This book made the cut!
