The stitching guide includes stitched examples of all the motifs to inspire your own embroideries, and inspiration for using the motifs to embellish clothes, cushions and other fabric items.

Customer Review

This is a beautifully presented set of two books. It's a really good size and I love how both books come in a separate wallet section. The first book explains everything you need to get started with some very handy tips and also how to use the transfers. It also features really good images that show how to do all of the embroidery stitches. It then goes on to show examples of how the transfers could be stitched or used. It's an excellent book and suitable for both beginners and any embroidery enthusiast. It's very well written. The second book is the book of transfers with 140 transfers, each of which can be used 10 times. This is great value for money! The designs are mostly floral with some heart designs, bugs and some birds. The sizes of designs vary so there really is something for any project. Once you cut out designs for transfer, the wallet can be used to store them in for future uses. I love how the designs can be stitched differently. You could choose to just do the outline or fill in the design using any stitches you choose. It really is a great, versatile set of books that any embroider enthusiast should add to their collection!
