Excellent compendium of embroidery stitches -- perfect for crazy quilting. Grouped nicely by variations on the foundation stitch. Stitches are "charted" on graph paper background making tracing, reproduction and resizing easy.

This is the best collection of embroidery stitches and how to make them I have ever had. I hope that it will be reprinted in the near future.

This book is exactly what it says it is, a treasure trove of ideas for crazy quilting. It is stitch diagrams on a graph. Nothing fancy. All are black and white and not as easy as I had hoped to follow. But this may not slow down more experienced stitchers. Also I found using strips of graph paper to stitch through in order to keep spacing even a dead loss. I'll go with a ruller and water soluble pen (TEST FIRST) everytime. But the wealth of inspiration is wonderful.

I was shown this book in a crazy quilt group and had to have it. It is plain, without color, and with simple line drawings, but that is what makes it good. The designs are easy to follow and leave room for being creative.

This book contains excellent combination stitches in addition to the basics. As a crazy quilter I use this book as a quick reference as well as for planning a more in depth design.

This book has so many stitches that are new to me. I can't wait to try them. Thanks to the author for sharing her creativity.

Excellent book to get ideas on different ways to use the same old stitches.Love the combination stitches.
