Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Needlework
I'm sooooooo glad I can still get this book because I lost my original. I purchased the book about 20 years ago and I've never found anything else comparable to this book. I've used it to help teach my girls when they were younger--they'd be able to see what their stitches would look like because the sample pics are close-up and clear shots. Anyone interested in learning the various types of needlework will find this a very good investment, indeed!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I wish there were more like this...
If there were more craft books like this one, I wouldn't need so many craft books! This one has it ALL.

Yes, some have pointed out that the projects are somewhat dated. Published in 1979, the Complete Guide to Needlework is 6 years older than I am. However, if you're interested enough in crafting to even read it, you should be creative enough to improvise.

If there's a knit stitch or applique technique you just can't find, maybe it's in here. Trust me, it's all here. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Needlework Applications
What a deal!!! Has absolutely everything about the basics of almost every kind of stitchery. A real find.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An encyclopedia
An oldie but a goodie...I love it as it has everything. It is for any type of needlework what the "Joy of Cooking" is for cooking...if you want to know how to do something look here.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - easy to follow!
I had to buy this book for a fibers class and i'm glad i did. this book is great! easy to follow instructions. if you can get the older one, the cover is much cuter! it helped me learn lots of embroidery stitches, basics of quilting, and the macrame section is great!
