The structure of Janet's books
All books are written for the person who may never have stitched that particular style of embroidery before. Even if you're stitching has never gone beyond Cross Stitch you will find step by step instructions in what fabric and thread to use, through to the stitching itself.

We all learn in different ways, some by reading, some by looking. So the Stitch Glossaries have stitch drawn diagrams along with step by step written instructions.

Embroidery through the centuries has been about experimentation, so fabric and thread suggestions beyond the traditional, as well as the traditional aspects have been given.

 Once you have played with the designs in the books, "design your own" chapters are given which will help you to experiment with your own designs.

Each book is A4 (8 x 11 1/2") in size. Coil binding has been used on the book spines, so when snuggled in your favourite chair you can easily keep open the book on your knee while stitching. No having to juggle the book to keep it open on the page you need. The covers have colour photos of the main projects and the contents of the books are printed in black and white.

Easy step by step instructions you can achieve stunning results with...
