I'm into detail detail detail. So that's what this is all about. The techniques are well illustrated and the photos are beautiful. I've used at least 25 of the decorative stitches and all of the embroidery stitches. I have not yet moved into the motif section since I have been desiging my own. This is a great book for beginners and for even most talented of stitchers. If you have ever wondered "How did they do that?" this will show you how. Good Luck, have patience and
practice, practice, practice, first!
