Review by Library Journal Review

Wyszynski, a veteran needlework designer, takes a basics-and-beyond approach to needlework. With coverage of embroidery (including sections on thread, beaded, and silk-ribbon), crewel, cross-stitch, and needlepoint; full-color photographs and illustrations; and easy-to-intermediate projects, this comprehensive guide will appeal to crafters of all skill levels. While the stitch guides are top-notch, another high point of this collection is the practical and clever needlework tips. A handy stitch index, allowing for quick look-up of each stitch by name, is also included. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
