Review by Library Journal Review

This omnibus edition features material from eight of Search Press's "Beginner's Guide" series of embroidery books, providing stitchers with basic information on a variety of techniques. Each section includes a brief introduction to supplies and techniques, followed by simple projects suitable for beginners. There are few books published on most of these techniques, which include blackwork, goldwork, Hardanger, and Mountmellick, but these traditional forms do have modern appeal. VERDICT Though there's not a lot of depth, the wide variety of coverage, including some lesser-known embroidery styles, makes this a good value for library collections. (c) Copyright 2012.
