I was hoping for more stitch instructions, and an index. The included sampler is nice, but it's missing a lot of the stitches I need to complete one of the author's other samplers. Pretty pictures, basic instructions, I was hoping for more. ( )

In the 25 or so pages on tools and materials, you get the impression that she is indeed speaking to you—answering your questions, and advising you on choices, but leaving the decision to you, Then follows the workshops -- small projects, where you can take inspiration from photos, fabric, nature, and how to move from the image to stitch selection, color effects and affects. Her choices of projects, and her personal style is not mine, but it is a strong basis to start from, and a big help when it comes to finishing any embroidered item. ( )
