Embroidery, Fast and Easy to Learn
by Customer A3F4PXOHRX5JDE at March 26th, 2008
This is an excellent book. It is perfect for the beginner embroiderer. I am not an experienced embroiderer; however, I think this is a great book for both the inexperienced as well as the experienced, especially if you want to teach embroidery for a class of students or to someone on an individual basis. The book will do most of the work for you. This book is exactly as it states in the title, Ready, Set, Stitch. You open the book and WOW! The colorful photographic instructions are among the first things you see. The photographic instructions include stitch examples in two or multiple colors threads as necessary to visually describe the techniques. The techniques are described in text also. There will be little or most likely no guessing about whether or not you got the instructions right. I think this book is a great example for anyone who is planning to write/publish a How to Book. It includes some of the best aspects of planning, layout, design, photography, useful guides on instructional methods I have seen. They are not long and drawn out. Very precise, to the point and gratifying to use. The projects are beautiful and very inspiring as well. I just saw this book at a book store for $19.00. Amazon has it for a fantastic discounted price. I highly recommend this book.
