Good Transfers
I found this book to be not very helpful with the basics of how to for a beginner, but very helpful with the design of patterns. They do not work on dark fabrics, which is what I needed, so had to improvise. The patterns were repetative, but that was ok for me. I got the basics down. I would like to have seen more actual pictures of finished work.

This review is from: Splendid Silk Ribbon Embroidery: Embellishing Clothing, Linens & Accessories (Paperback)
This book is one of the best for providing suggestions on how to use silk ribbon embroidery to embellish your clothing (vests, tops, etc). It has a short section describing the stitches, and each design element is identified by the type of stitches used to make it. The book isn't really intended for a beginner, though. It doesn't give a description of HOW to make the flowers in a given design-- in fact, it doesn't walk you through making ANY flowers. As a result, if you already know how to make roses, lilacs, etc, and are seeking inspiration for applying these techniques to a variety of garments (vests, sweaters, girls' headbands, brooches, etc), then this is the perfect book for you. If you are a true beginner, don't expect that this book will teach you the basics.
