This review is from: Brazilian Three-Dimensional Embroidery: Instructions and 50 Transfer Patterns (Embroidery, Needlework Designs Series) (Paperback)
This book truly is unique. No other book I have ever read gives such fine instructions on how to...and also provides you with such intricate designs. Now a days, you see books on how to, plenty of instruction, but they are really cheap with designs. Not this book! Money well invested.If you're wanting to learn to how do Brazilian embrodiery...this is your book!

Show, don't tell!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brazilian Three-Dimensional Embroidery: Instructions and 50 Transfer Patterns (Embroidery, Needlework Designs Series) (Paperback)
In fairness, I would have given a 2.5 rating if that were available. Admittedly, this is a reasonably priced book, so one doesn't lose much by giving it a try. My problem with it, is that it is heavy on the "tell" and not very good at the "show." While the embroidery stitches are explained with (very basic) line drawings, the actual flower designs are described in writing with no sequential drawings. This leaves the reader flipping back and forth between the earlier "stitch glossary" pages trying to work out how each flower is made. The book is probably fine for a more advanced hobbyist who is mainly interested in the iron-on transfer patterns. I would not recommend it to a beginner or to someone who has no knowledge of basic three-dimensional embroidery stitches.

Looked better than it actually was...,

Got excited about this one when I saw it, but found the designs WAAAAY to intricate. This may be a matter of taste, or the nature of Brazilian embroidery, but the book is definitely full of very similar-looking designs. It just wasn't what I was looking for in transfer patterns.
