Críticas:

Winter 09 This book is well laid out and gives clear instructions for the method of work which is useful for both beginners and the more experienced embroiderer. For me some letters worked better than others. In the illustrations some embellishments seemed so ornate that the letter got lost, though that may not happen when actually worked. However, once worked they could be used to apply to larger projects like bags and there are a number of other suggestions in the book. There were various ways to work the letters and with the ribbon embellishment it was heavier and chunkier so would work really well on larger projects though perhaps it would be too much for the average sized card. * West Country Embroiderers *
