Very good images that match with instructions but not good for middle to advanced embroiderers.

Meh
Shows stitches but not clearly enough for me. Felt disorganized. Not helpful for a beginner trying to learn. Might be helpful for someone experienced as a refresher or an encyclopedia.

Not useful
It was not what I wanted, hardly any sample stitching. Not worth a pocket guide book. The pictures were great but I need more actual "how to" sample stitchings
