I use this book in my Upper Elementary class, and it is a great favorite of the students. The many colorful photographs of finished projects both inspire and instruct the beginning curve stitcher. The book is divided into projects based on stitching angles and those based on stitching circles. I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5 stars because some of the instructions for the circle projects could be a bit clearer, but that shouldn't stop you from trying this excellent book. You'll be surprised how easy it is to make beautiful projects that look really complicated!

Amazing good book. Buy it now if you enjoy math and it's applications. I'm glad to find this book here at amazon.

Jon Millington brings to life the subject of curve stitching in this lavishly illustrated book. The often forgotten craft of curve stitching is made into an invaluable mathmatical teaching aid and should appeal to both the teacher and student alike. A really lovely book which should attract even the most reluctant of maths students! I thoroughly recommend it.

My search was for Paper Embrodery designs I could use. This is more of a text book explaining how some of the designs are made. The designs are beautiful and I would like to understand all the math that goes into their making. So, unless you are a geometry whiz, I would try some of the other books dedicated to paper embrodery.
