First Time Embroidery and Cross-Stitch: The Absolute Beginner’s Guide - Learn By Doing * Step-by-Step Basics + Projects (Volume 10) (First Time, 10) Paperback – Illustrated, September 3, 2019

So easy for beginners.. excellent.

I was pleasantly surprise with the content of this book. It was expertly done!

Great detailed information.

I loved the color photos of the various stitches that you learn throughout the book, lets the reader see exactly how the stitches should look when done correctly. This book is great for crafts persons looking for affordable, relaxing needlework hobby to take up. Tells you what supplies and materials you need to get started immediately. Also, the book is written in a straightforward matter, no technical jargon, perfect for newbies, like myself.

Needed refresher info as I decided to start this hobby again. Price right

It’s a great book for adults but far too complex for the kids (preteens) I teach.

Looking forward to starting this project

Linda Wyszynski's book "First Time Embroidery and Cross-Stitch. The Absolute Beginner's Guide - Lear by Doing Step-by-Step Basics and Projects" was published by Quarry Publishing Group - Quarry. After the introduction the book is divided into four sections: 1) Getting started, 2) Creative Embroidery, 3) Crewel, and 4) Cross-Stitch. It also contains a glossary and an index which is very helpful.In the "Getting Started" section Wyszynski gives a detailed overview over stitching equipment and supplies, fabrics, threads (included is also information about "Blending Threads" and "Conversion Charts"), charts, diagrams, and patterns, transferring patterns and stabilizing fabrics, and stitching basics. The "Creative Embroidery" sections presents a vast array of stitches and how they are done as well as some projects. A similar approach can be found in the "Crewel" and "Cross-Stitching" sections. The book presents great photos and graphics / diagrams. The glossary and index are highly appreciated. It is a very thorough book and can be a really great guide for beginners. The projects can be reproduced or used as inspiration. It can also be a great gift for those who are interested in embroidery and cross-stitch.The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge.
