I found this book to be very helpful. The pictures and diagrams show exactly how each stitch should be done. I highly recommend this book to everyone who does embroidery.

Nearly three hundred stitches from feather to drawn-thread stitches and beadwork receive visual embellishment and step-by-step illustration in the fine Complete Guide To Embroidery Stitches, a compendium divided into five main sections to cover embroidery on fabric, smocking, canvas work and more. From color value applications to step-by-step easy directions, each step receives visual drawings and hints for applications.

This book is wonderful. The pictures are very clear and helpful. It also has all sorts of information about the different types of fabric and string, etc. I recommend for anyone, especially beginners like me! Wonderful book!

After checking this book out from the library, I decided it would be a good resource book to have.
I do not understand why it is priced at $100 when the list price is $22.95
I triple checked the publish dates and ISBN numbers. This is the same book I bought at a local retailer for $22.95
For the life of me I can't figure out why Amazon wants so much.

This book is complete, clear and very easy to understand. It was just what I was looking for. It offers many many different stiches. I love it.

A superb book for anyone wanting to learn embroidery. The book has great diagrams, photographs and written descriptions for every stitch. The written instructions are very thorough and easy to understand. Aside from all that great stuff, the very best part of this book (in my opinion) is the "tip" included with each stitch on how to create the stitch, or what effect the stitch is best used for or what type of thread is best to use for that particular stitch. A great resource for all levels. Also recommended: The Embroidery Stitch Bible.

For intermediate needlework enthusiasts (or even beginners), this is a "must have" for your library. It's comprehensive, clearly written and well illustrated. I recommend it.

I bought this book along with the Embroiderer's Handbook and this one turned out to be the better bet when it came to the instructions and illustrations. Excellent reference for someone learning embroidery.

Really complete book. When I browse through this book, I have million of new ideas for my work. A must have for beginners as well as professionals!

The book solved my sewing problem within five minutes.
