A very clear instruction book,

This review is from: Crewel Embroidery: A Practical Guide (Milner Craft Series) (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from my library and after reading through it, studying the photographs, and the directions, I am putting it on my wish list as another book I want in my own personal collection. This book is very clear with simple reasons for why or how something is done in a certain way. Options are given on how to prepare to do your embroidery from transfering designs to hooping it. There are simple work pieces that use increasingly more difficult/involved stitches so you will be building on what you have learned. You even get instructions for designing your own designs. I look forward to using some of the stitches in this book for a current project I'm working on as I still have several weeks to keep this library copy.

This review is from: Crewel Embroidery: A Practical Guide (Milner Craft Series) (Paperback)
I checked out a few books from the library on crewel embroidery and thought this one was the best. The author does a good job of introducing the reader to the stitches one project at a time. Each project is interesting in its own right and is designed just right so that the number of new stitches introduced does not overwhelm the new embroider.
