Book Review by Mr X Stitch (Embroidery Artist)

What Sarah has done very cleverly is successfully target this book at a really huge audience. Whether you’ve never done any embroidery before or you’ve been sewing for decades, there will be lots in this book for you.

Book Review by Susan Nixon (verified owner):

Sarah’s photographs make it easy to follow the directions step by step. Her words are clear and concise, as well. Sarah has so much information that is helpful to beginners, but also helpful to those who’ve done embroidery for a long time. There are basic stitches, but then they are carried into very advanced ideas with additions and new ways of using them. I’m really excited to own this book!
