The actual book section is colourful with lots of pictures, well set up and easy to read, covering all the information you would need to start embroidering. Although I find much better visuals of the actual stitches in "Doodle Stitching" by Aimee Ray, there is cartoon sketches of each stitch covered with full explanation of how to execute them.
There is a HUGE assortment of patterns in this book! Every theme you could think of for boys, girls, baby, food, lettering, banners etc. I have already used the patterns a dozen times. Theres pouches in the front and back to place cut pattern peices once you've used them, as each peice can be used up to 9 times, or possibly more.

I love Jenny Hart's website. The patterns featured there are very nice and unique. I thought this book would have the same sort of patterns as seen on her website. I was wrong. They are very basic patterns. Sure, they're cute, but I have no desire to embroider any except maybe 2 of them. This is a good book for beginners though. I prefer the patterns in her other book, embroidered effects.

Cute patterns, but not as unique as I had hoped for...

When I saw that this book was coming out, I knew that I would have to get it. I love the unique patterns on Jenny Hart's website- they're fun and edgier than the usual flower basket patterns you find at craft stores. That's why I was suprised when I flipped through this book for the first time. The iron-on patterns are sweet (baby bottles and cherries), but so simple that I could have drawn them myself. I suggest actually flipping through the patterns in this book before you buy it.

I admit I bought this book anticipating oodles of yummy embroidery designs by the authoress, akin to the ones she has on her website. I didn't really need the embroidery instructions, which are okay. However, I was disappointed in the number of UNIQUE images; instead, there are less images but they are duplicated in many different sizes (for example, a teacup in several sizes) and none of the designs rival the ones you can buy from her website. I would have liked more flowers and animals, for example. The spiral binding is very nice as is the storage pocket in back; very usable. If you are a beginning embroiderer or just want a book with basic images, this one is fine.

A great sequel to the Stitch-It kit!

I previously bought the Stitch-It kit, which I'd probably recommend first if you've never done any embroidery. If you have, this is a great book to own. The how-to is short and simple but useful, and there are literally hundreds of patterns, including cats, dogs, letters, words, shoes, make up, rocket ships, baby faces, and more that I can't remember now. Yes, the drawings are a bit simple, but that's part of their charm. Don't forget they can be further embellished! I love that there are so many, I can always find a pattern to embroider! I am giving it four stars rather than five because I was hoping for a more comprehensive section on embroidery stitches.
If you want a lot of basic iron-on patterns with some additional info on embroidery stitches, this is a great book to buy.
