“A cornucopia of fancy stitches. . . . Even experienced stitchers are likely to learn something new . . . . As a catalogue of possibility for stitching, this is a wonderful addition to a crafting library.” —Publishers Weekly

“This book surpassed my expectations, which rarely happens. Kudos to C&T and the author for putting together an excellent, comprehensive book on this topic. I have been doing embroidery of all kinds for several years and was delighted to see new (to me) stitches and combinations. The projects are beautiful and inspiring.” —Cindy Gorder, editor, Decorating Digest Craft & Home Projects

“A wonderful visual guide to 85 stitches that use thread, floss, ribbon, beads and more. . . . If you are new to embroidery, Christen offers a good discussion on the materials to use. I thought her Embroidering With Confidence chapter offered lots of good tips for the novice as well as a refresher for those who have not picked up an embroidery needle for a while.”—The Professional Quilter Magazine
