Stitchcraft: An Embroidery Book of Simple Stitches and Peculiar Patterns Paperback – 5 Feb. 2019

Returned this wonderful embroidery book because it wasn’t the type of embroidery I wanted plus it was too difficult for me

Amazing book! I'm very new to embroidery, and this book is just fantastic for inspiration. I've seen lots of reviews saying it's not a beginners book, but I have to disagree, I think if you're a beginner, maybe watch a few YouTube tutorials on any stitches you're not familiar or confident with and then get stuck in! To be completely honest the stitches used are relatively easy and uncomplicated. Just have a bit of confidence in yourself and go for it! Amazing book if you're a fan of witchy bits and bobs and stuff that's a bit weird and will scare your nana!

If you are an embroiderers who likes the macabre then this is teh book for you. Beautifully presented with tons of inspiration and patterns to work from. I highly recommend it

Very different embroidery designs! I’m doing the anatomy of a snake design but using some different stitches… but doing stitching your way is what makes embroidery so personal

Bought for my daughter's Christmas present and she is new to embroidery so she is delighted with it. Some very unusual pictures that will give her some ideas.

This is a great book for ideas and for enjoying a slightly alternative side of needlework. The author makes suggestions of what stitch to use where but there's no defining guide. It's up to the stitcher to try their hand at building up their design. I think for that reason this book won't suit everyone. I want to stitch some of the patterns onto black linen but not sure how I will copy design onto the dark fabric, but that's my issue not the book's problem.

Very difficult to leave a good review for Amazon ! I am sat in bed recovering from very recent Lung Cancer Surgery. Decided to order some books and found exactly what I wanted from Amazon. All books arrived within two days and are beautiful, ab beautiful. I am planning to try some embroidery that I have not tried for years. I cannot praise this service from all providers and Amazon.Ebay has an easy product review, but I could not find the way to go with you.But thank you for your service.

While I like the projects, and found them inspiring, this lacks in teaching. There's a lack of talking through the processes, there's no breakdown of stitches, not much on tools, threads, how the author works on a black background, how does she transfer a pattern onto black? Does she draw fresh and with chalk? Needed more of the how to, in my opinion.
