Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Don't be fooled by the long, old-fashioned title. The Royal School of Needlework Definitive Guide to Cross Stitch and Tapestry (phew!), is well constructed and impressively complete.
It is intended to function as the ultimate companion for cross stitchers and needleworkers of all abilities. Beginners will no doubt plunge into the multimedia tutorial, which, with its text and video explanations of stitch making and history of stitchwork, is quite fascinating as well as being educational. Beyond the tutorial, you can get into needlework design. There are 1,200 motifs on the CD for you to work with, but better still you can import any image of your own into the software for conversion to a cross-stitch pattern, from a photo of a pet to a drawing you have scanned. Not only will the software convert the image into a grid suitable for use as a template; it will do a colour conversion too, suggesting what colour threads you need to have to hand. Thread colours are matched to particular ranges available in shops, and you can even get a list of what you need to buy to make the design.
There is a lot more to this CD than there is space here to write about it--if you are even vaguely interested in needlework it's definitely worth a look.--Sandra Vogel
