3.0 out of 5 stars Ok but not super, Oct 22 2003

It's a mixed bag book. It's really not for beginners though ti shows lots of stitches and how to make them because it does not have attendant information
about making a project. I'd recommend instead as a beginner book Jo Verso's
book and once you've finished that you may be interested in some of Betty's techniques. If this is your first book you will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, Aug 11 2005

I disagree with the previous review. I think this book does a good job of explaining things that beginners need to know. I especially liked the introduction/history of needlework and the many color photographs included. The book discusses materials and equipment needed to start stitching and gives clear instructions with visual aids in how to do the various stitches. It also talks a bit about designing your own work, and finishes as well as caring for your work once it's completed. This is a good resource!

3.0 out of 5 stars Is a good book, Feb 4 2008

This book has some good information about cross stitch lots of neat techniques. But if your just looking to learn cross stitch and intrested in broadening your horizens on the craft of cross stitch I wouldn't recommend it to you. Most of the time if you Buy a pattern and it uses one of the techniques it'll tell you how to do it. But if you love samplers you may 100% die for this book. Then again if you do alot of samplers with specialty stitches you may know all the stitches in the book as well LOL!
