Ein schönes Buch mit vielen Stichen auch für Anfänger. Tolle Anleitungen

Very nice book with photographs as stitch instructions. I usually prefer diagrams but these photographs are pretty clear, and plenty of them to show step by step the stitch. Clear printing on a reasonably substantial paper. The book is not spiral bound but has a special binding that allows the book the lay pretty flat when opened in the middle, but needs to be weighted down (or a book holder) when opened towards the end pages. Still, pretty good binding.There are some step by step instructions for a few individual elements, e.g. a daffodil flower head.The projects themselves are not step by step so there is a need to flip from the front of the book where the basic stitches are shown, to the project picture, to the back of the book for the line placement drawing.Each project consists of a large photograph of the finished protect, requirements e.g. thread, beads, fabric, a box with most of the stitches used including reference page numbers, work order, and a line placement drawing (at the back of the book). These drawings have different stitches/methods shown by different shapes, e.g. lines to show stem stitch, or circles to show woven rose.The threads and ribbons typically used are Anchor and DMC stranded cotton, Anchor Marlitt (stranded Rayon), Rajmahal Art Silk (six strand divisible, silk and viscose mix), YSI silk floss, YSI silk ribbon (Japanese brand), Kacoonda silk ribbon (hand dyed in Australia), Glen Lorin silk ribbon (hand dyed in Australia), Hanah silk ribbon (hand dyed, bias cut to fray for carnations), Marie Hall delica beads, Mill Hill seed beeds.So quite a mix of threads, beads, and ribbons (I may have missed some) if an exact copy of a project is wanted, but I will likely just use what I can get a hold of. I might just buy white silk ribbon and colour myself with some marker pens (that I saw in a how to video by crafty attic) to save having to order many colours (and besides which I like faffing around).Anyway, I am pleased with this book and have my eye on another couple in the series (goldwork, stumpwork).
