This is a very comprehensive book with good illustrations. It starts from the very, very beginning with what items you will want to have on hand before starting to stitch. The explanations are concise but complete, leaving no doubt about what you should do. If one is not a total beginner they may not need this much information but the book does move forward to more complex projects for the more advanced stitcher.

Beginner's Guide to Crewel Embroidery is overall an excellent book for those just beginning the art of crewel embroidery. It has a basic set of stitches which are clearly shown and a few patterns that can be used to create one's own picture or pillow, etc. The only fault is the author could have given the crafter more patterns in the book. Recommended for most craft collections and most library collections.
Nice book very informative, would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn crewel embroidery.

This is a very good book for a beginner. A number of stitches are well explained through both text and pictures and I found it very helpful. Several patterns are included and they are lovely - very traditional, very pretty. I'm glad to have this book and recommend it to others, too.
