 A (good) case of mistaken identity June 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book, thinking it was connected to Jenny Hart and Sublime Stitching: Hundreds of Hip Embroidery Patterns and How-To. Much to my amazement - actually, just now, more or less - they are not. But the styles are very, VERY similar. The main difference is that in this book, you will get mostly craft ideas and some designs. In Sublime Stitching you'll get mostly designs (iron-on). Both are geared towards beginners - and both have very lengthy introductions into the basic steps and stitches.
While I'm now very startled that I did not in fact buy a Jenny Hart title, I am very pleased to have found a new embroidery sensei to follow in Aimee Ray.
One last note: the model used in the book is attractive, but has the weirdest pseudo-smile that unnerves me. Be on your guard. The crafts are worth it, though.
Perfect For A Beginner! June 4, 2008

I am a beginner at the art of embroidery. I love this book. It has very clear instructions on embroidery stitches. I love the idea of doodle-stitching! No boring clip art stuff here!
 Nice projects but quite few patterns May 7, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is quite nice and the projects are all very do-able. The color combinations used are very nice and I liked Aimee's pattern style.
But my only regret is that there is very few patterns in the book and most of the project photographs are highlighted on the finished product and so the patterns don't get much focus. It would have been great if Aimee has bundled in more of her patterns at the end of the book so that we had more choices to mix and match various patterns in the same projects that she have shown.
Great Book April 28, 2008

This book of embroidery is just very inspiring. I probably won't make all the projects in the book but I will use the designs on other stuff. I have already copied the front cover and embroideried a bird on my capris and a deer on another pair and I used the pattern from the skirt on the leg of my jeans. The designs just make you want to embroider everything. And it is easy. The only thing I have to say is that I do have some experience in embroidery and I know that even though the instructions say most of the designs in this book were done with six threads--that is not the best way to get good looking stitches. There are some good instructions in the book but you may want to look further to get your stitches looking even better. For the best satin stitches I won't use more than 3 threads. But I am still giving the book 5 stars because it has alot of patterns you can copy and is very inspiring!
Very Inspiring April 22, 2008

I just started embroidering and this book was full of beautiful and inspiring images. It gave me lots of ideas of what I could do with the things that I'm embroidering and had some great fun projects.
The only downside was the lack of iron-on transfers. Not everyone can draw the images that are displayed and having to bust out the fabric transfer paper gets old.
But overall, I would recommend this book because it gives a fresh view on embroidering and really inspired me to turn my doodles into stitches.
