Review: FABULOUS - This is an amazingly beautiful book, in and of itself. The text is easy to read. The photographs of the stitches are clear. Inspiring.
Review: Lovely artisan, unique book. - A clever book , beautifully presented. I love Natalie Chanin; if you get a chance to watch a video with her speaking, you will be charmed by her peaceful demeanour, skilfulness and Southern accent. This book, like all her work is carefully constructed to allow you to develop your skills. All the stitches are linear, inasmuch as they are not motif based. Grids made of tough plastic are included in the back of the book, these are very useful for transferring dots. However, I can pretty much accurately stitch without the dots, just by using my needle. You can also mark a needle so you can use it to measure... There are no projects in this book, it simply is about stitching. I am slightly worried I won't want to produce lines of stitching, I quite like handstitching motifs and embellishments in stitches like french knots and bullion knots which I pile to form daises or flowers...Oh and fly stitch, love that one. however, I would not send the book back as I just find the whole presentation beautiful, and almost mystical... gorgeous peaceful mindful stitching! I fancy trying the stitches on some hand dyed fabric or even on felt.Layers of stitch are built up for a stylish lush effect. Lovely artisan, unique book. I would like to try the stitches on doll dresses first, I make art dolls.I have added some photos of my work, so you know I am a serious stitcher!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely book!
*by S***G on 24 February 2020*

I absolutely love this book. It is an inspiration for beginners and seasoned embroiderers alike. The inclusion of the grids is fantastic as it makes stitch design so much easier and quicker and I have been playing around with stitch combinations. If you are a bit OCD about accuracy, as I am, even when just sketching an idea, then you will find the grids so easy to use. Aside from the hand embroidery inspiration, I have a sewing machine that allows you to design your own stitches and this makes it so much easier to do! I love the binding of the book too - hidden inside a traditional-appearing cover is a neat spiral- bound affair that means the book stays flat when opened. The whole thing has been very carefully thought out and produced to exceptionally high quality.
