I found this book on Amazon and since I like to close, I thought an embroidery it is certainly good times. So I ordered the book and have to say I was not disappointed! The last time I did 13 years ago, well embroidered in school, but only cross-stitch ... At the beginning of the book to show all important types of stitches and what so everything needed hoop, floss, needle, etc. The CD which is in the process is great, you can vary the embroidery in the Göße and print as you need them. The images in the book are very clear and colorful, so provide a color proposal. The only thing that has led me to a star deduction is the lack of description of the pictures, I'm never 100% sure which stitch to choose. but that's surely only a matter of practice un detract from the value of the book is not really ... As a beginner, I can say it: very suitable for beginners, "embroider doodles" have fun :-)
