"If you have ever hesitated before attempting to draw to stitch a portrait, or been frustrated by drawing faces or hands even if you have never picked up a pencil before then this book is the ideal place to start." - Embroidery magazine (November 2012), "The extensive photography is extremely clear and sometimes brutally close-up, but essential for the reader to understand the execution of the techniques and their effects on the fabric. As ever with Jan Messent's books, this is a remarkable publication and one that many embroiderers will find an inspirational addition to their bookshelves." - New Stitches (November 2012), "The extensive photography is extremely clear and sometimes brutally close-up, but essential for the reader to understand the execution of the techniques and their effects on the fabric.
