This review is from: Beginner's Guide to Drawn Thread Embroidery (Paperback)
I've done drawn thread work before, so I'm no beginner. I bought the book because I am a big fan of Patricia Bage's work. This book has beautiful pictures of the projects as well as step by step illustrations of the different stitches used in the project. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Beginner's Guide to Drawn Thread Embroidery (Paperback)
You couldn't want more in a book than this little number by Patricia Bage for clarity of method and technique, simple illustrations and nice projects to finish. You will get a true sampling of stitches including 10 techniques in drawn thread alone, 12 in embroidery, how to bead and 4 really pretty samplers to incorporate and learn the techniques through and through. I love that she shows each of the 4 samplers in 2 different color schemes. This allows you to see the potential of personal design that so inspire as to sit right down and begin to stitch. She has included a comprehensive list of fabrics, threads and supplies with photographs of everything that are very close-up and detailed and leave nothing to guess at. You can try your hand at one type of stitching or become truly an expert by finishing one or more of the samplers. What a great find!

A most wanted book for needleworkers,
By Sandra Flores "Sandra F" (Venezuela) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginner's Guide to Drawn Thread Embroidery (Paperback)
This book is so much more than it seems. It's a treasure, the images are so neat and beautiful, widely displayed across the page. The tutorials are excellent! Step by step instructions with pictures and graphs...
It has information on materials, important considerations before stitching, tutorials on the techniques, plus four beautiful projects shown in different color schemes and finishes... Best needlework book I own.
