5.0 out of 5 stars Enduring classic., 30 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This book was first published in 1934 and was later updated by Jan Eaton to its current format. The book gives instructions for in excess of 400 embroidery stitches each stitch being named (with all alternative names listed), detailed and illustrated with coloured line drawings and coloured photographs. The stitches are listed and divided according to stitch type such as outline and border stitches, isolated and filling stitches, canvas and insertion stitches, edging stitches and pulled fabric stitches. There is also a full index of each stitch (and its alternative name) which is useful if looking for a particular stitch. The book also gives a great many hints and tips on the use of a particular stitch as well as giving helpful information on how to get started, such as which fabric to use, using hoops and frames and discussing needles and threads. This is the best reference book on embroidery stitches I have come across and I would recommend it to beginner and expert alike. Note: The book is as it is descibed i.e. a 'dictionery of embroidery stitches' and although it contains some lovely works of embroidery for illustration purposes it does not give specific instructions for projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Very comprehensive and well laid out. My only criticism is that some of the stiches could be better illustrated, but other than that the book is by far the best Stitch reference book I have found. Several of my friends will be receiving it for Christmas this year.
