4.0 out of 5 stars Good book - a few problems, Jul 13 2001
There is no doubt - you can find a ton of stitches here. The written instructions are good, but I found two things that could use improvement.

1. The stitches are listed alphabetically. This seems to make sense, but when you start a project and e.g. you're looking for an open stitch for a large area, you have to go through the book page by page to find a selection. I would have liked the stitches to be grouped by type or use. There is a chart in the front, but I am one of those impatient types who don't like flipping through books to find what I want.

2. The black and white photos aren't always very clear. I know printing in color ups the price of books incredibly, I think having some color here - even duotones - would have helped. Some stitches looked completely different when I stitched them. I'm a relatively experienced needlepointer, so I know I wasn't misreading the instructions.

So, better photos and better organization would make this book ideal (even better I think than the Ippolito book). Regardless of these flaws, this is still a good reference and one that I use regularly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for all levels of needlepointers, Feb 8 2001
By A Customer
With more than 400 stitches, this book is one of the largest stitch guides around. It is well-organized and provides clear photographs of the stitches. The author also comments on typical or recommended uses for the various stitches, as well as their durability.

Whether you already have several stitch books or are in the market for your first, this book is a great choice!
