[.ca] Beginner's Guide to Silk Ribbon Embroidery (ISBN 0855328355)

Great for beginners:
I would recommend this book for someone who has never done any ribbon embroidery at all. If you've done even a couple small projects, this might be too rudimentary for you. It has detailed photos and directions for 4 main stitches and photos of about 60 different flowers. (this seems like a lot, but it really isn't.) It also touches on stenciling and painting backgrounds, and matting and framing, which is novel. Only a few flowers have step-by-step instructions, but the rest aren't too hard to figure out from the detailed pictures. There are only a handful of project patterns included-- although those are very clear and easy to understand. Experienced sewers looking for something beyond the basics should choose another book.

Excellent Beginner's Book!:
This book will give you every bit of information you'll need to get started in silk ribbon embroidery. The step-by-step instructions and pictures are nearly as good as having a personal instructor! I was amazed by the amount of information packed into this thin book. You'll be able to make dozens of different types of stitches with the information you find here. This book is well planned and (surprisingly) covers even such details as painting in a background for your work! Worth every penny you pay for this book!

Great book:
It's great book fror everybody. Explanes the tecniques well. Illustrations are helps to create. With a little help of your imagination you can create perfect flowers with Silk Ribbons. I started to look for other books from Ann Cox. Recomended for everybody...
