A-Z of Embroidery Stitches: A Complete Manual for the Beginner Through to the Advanced Embroiderer (A-Z of Needlecraft)

The media could not be loaded. I was so excited when I received this book. The cover is very colorful and shows a few stitches that will be included inside. When I opened it I was even more excited because all the photos were very clear and precise. The written instructions were also clearly written and succinct. Care was taken to create this book by the design of the cover and rounded corners to the plentiful instructions on threads and needles to use. It was very extensive and a great help to me to learn this craft easily. The title is fitting "A-Z" of embroidery stitches. Very true description. There are extras included such as silk ribbon stitching and "needle weaving" which is more exotic and as far as I can remember I see a lot of use in Russia and Asiatic countries. I am excited to explore the book and begin learning more. This makes a great gift to give for both male/female. I think a good gift for a mother or grandmother to give the young crafty child/grandchild as an entry to arts and crafts. It's an important skill to learn with lots of structure.

I had no idea how easy the instructions in this book would be. I followed along easily and have learned so much! I highly recommend this book for anyone desiring to learn how to embroider or how to do many other styles/stitches.

Great book - love the visual step by step photos of all the stitches! I found it to be a great learning tool!

Enjoying the information

Great book. Lots of choices of stitches. Good illustrations and instructions

I was trying to learn a stitch in my beginner embroidery kit. The instructions included were not very clear to me. I started looking on the internet and could only find videos. I don’t learn well with videos. I need written instructions and pictures are nice. This book is great. It spelled out each step clearly with a picture for each step. Exactly what I was looking for and so helpful. There are probably over 150 stitches included in this book. I definitely recommend if you are new to embroidery.

This is a great reference book for all things embroidery. It demonstrates and displays a vast array of stitches useful in a large variety of situations and designs. The instructions are well illustrated, easy to understand and follow. I recommend this to anyone.
