I purchased the flexibound book instead of the kindle version this time as I wanted the full benefit of the large pictorial instructions, not that the ebook version could not do this, but it would require additional steps to enlarge the page....nuf said about that. As a novice at the art of embrodiery, I found this book to be an excellent source across the board. It devoted 3.5 pages on threads and how to use them with particular stitches, 2 pages on needles which includes an awesome needle chart, 2.5 pages on Hoops with instructions on choosing and preparing a hoop; specialty hoops; getting the most out of a hoop; keeping it clean; and binding. Scissors and stitch tension shared a page before the actual instruction on how to make particular stitches. Because I was new to this, I did a cursory overview of the stitches, and then went back and tried 11 stitches- regular blanket, alternating diagonal , back, chain, diamond, fern, four sided, gobelin filling, Italian knotted border, straight, Pekingese- and I did it!!! I also tried, with success, several harder ones. The step by step instructions were excellent, and the accompanying pictures enabled a novice like me to be successful. This book is an excellent tool for the novice, and an awesome reference for the expert stitcher. I have uploaded several pages from the book to provide the reader with a more generous overview. Hopefully it will answer some questions you may have about content as well as samples of this instructional style. Enjoy!!!!!

The book and pictures are very clear on how to make the stitches. I really liked the pictures that showed examples of how to use the particular stitch in a real project.

Nice book! Clear explainations of all the possibile stitches with written instructions and pictures!
