So I liked the cover, and at a very reasonable price I thought 'why not'.
Arrived a few days later, and I was amazed...clear instructions for every single project, with details of stitch used and excellent diagrams, would I am sure please a beginner as much as a more proficient crafter.
I immediately put one of the projects to good use and it worked up pretty quick!
The designs are varied and modern, and the techniques used allow you to then go on and design your own...very good all round!

This is a beautiful book full of ideas that will inspire both the new emroiderer and the old hand. The pieces look complicated but are deceptively simple and the instructions are easy to understand.
Clear photographs and simple diagrams make this a book I will refer to quite a bit in the coming months.
If you are buying for a crafter, no matter how experienced they are, they will love to have this on their coffee table and will no doubt be caught flicking through it quite a bit.
