4.0 out of 5 stars
Great instruction guide,
By Georgie-Anne Holder "Aine" (NB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Embroidery: Includes Crewelwork, Goldwork, Ribbon Embroidery, and Embellishments (Paperback)
This book is wonderful for any embroiderer. It shows in excellent detail how each stitch is made. Colour photos and diagrams make this book easy to use. You'll come back to it over and over again. Wonderfully laid out and catagorized. A must for any needlecrafters library. Although this book is a wonderful reference for stitches, it is not a good pattern book. The patterns given in this book are more for examples of how to used many of the stitches. Still, I recommend this book as a reference to needlearts.

This review is from: Complete Book of Embroidery: Includes Crewelwork, Goldwork, Ribbon Embroidery, and Embellishments (Paperback)
In the past couple of years, there have been some great books written for those who are just learning to embroider. This is one of them.Each stitch technique is well set out, with great illustrations, and an example for you to sitch using the techniques you learn. It has specialist chapters, and some good designs for you to use in your own work. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced embroiderer, you will not regret adding this to your collection.

Complete Book of Embroidery,
By Barbara Black "Barbara Trammell Black" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Book of Embroidery: Includes Crewelwork, Goldwork, Ribbon Embroidery, and Embellishments (Paperback)
After many years away from cross stitching, I returned to needlework wanting to learn new embroidery stitches and methods of execution. This book combines execution techniques, diagrams in great detail, color pictures, ideas and patterns. Lay language and commond names as well as the proper names of stitches are included making this as easy as a garden book. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone looking for additional stitches to add to their repertoire. Beginner to advanced will like this book. Most bang for your buck too. I bought a used addition and am very happy with it.
