Definitely for the more advanced embroiderer I would reckon. But an absolutely glorious resource packed full of clear images of antique embroidery, patterns to trace off, information about the different styles and techniques.
LOVED IT!! It even included a section on knotting--the precursor to tatting!
Beautiful
A Christmas present from my husband. Great detail on how those beautiful coats were decorated. Someday I am going to duplicate some of the work.
