There are more extensive books out there for those who want more in-depth info, but this booklet has more than enough to get started, or as a refresher, and worth every penny. This book gives very clear, succinct instructions with a few tips and variations. It has diagrams and directions for 29 stitches from the standard French knot, cross stitch and chain stitch to Roumanian, pistil stitches and spider web rose. It’s a pretty little book with laminated cover and sturdy pages.

Each line has a slightly different "look" and is distinguished by the direction the working thread is held and the closeness of each stitch. It's a great book of embroidery stitches with directions and pictures, and it's small (4"x6") enough to carry in a bag or box that you carry your scissors and floss in. It's small size makes it very portable and the instructions are easy to follow.

• Handy to grab for a quick review of many often used stitches
• Good, clear diagrams and easy to follow steps
• Great size and multiple stitches with step-by-step instructions
• Nice clear illustrations for each stitch, and good instructions
