Reviews

Embroidery has been around for ages, and there are encyclopedias full of complicated stitches, but when it comes down to it, all you really need are lines, dots, and teardrops.With just a few basic stitches (you'll learn them all in this book), you can stitch anything you can imagine. In this book you'll find about 500 designs t get you started -- everything from alligators, bicycles, and corn on the cob through washing machines, yucca plants, and zebras. * Sew News *
