Customer Review

rating: 4 A super book, just not for a brand new beginner
by Customer A14UQBG3HNR785 at May 26th, 2003
I got this book to get me started in embroidery because in the title it said, "Basic Techniques". Really, her first book (which I got *AFTER* I got this one) is better for that. That said, it is a super book. There are super pictures, and she explains all the techniques very well. This book goes into more detail of how to do specialized embroidery projects. At first I was disappointed, because it was so thin. But it is filled with information. There is not too much repetition from her first book. If you have to choose only one of her books, then get the first one. If you are ready to do more advanced work, then move onto this one. It will put more umph into your embroidery.

The book also has a CD with a bunch of designs on it. I like the varity of the designs. She also explains very well how to tweak the designs and combine them to totally change the looks. So you really are getting a lot of information and designs for your money. Overall, I would recommend this book.
