This review is from: The Anchor Book of Crewelwork Embroidery Stitches (The Anchor Book Series) (Paperback)
I found the trace-offs to be extreemly helpful in learning and using the various stitches tought in this book. The stitches are also set in alphabetical order for a quick referance on any given stitch. This is the best little embroidery book for the price.
