ReviewsFirefly's Step-by-Step Encyclopedia of Needlecrafts is a wealth of information for the person interested in needlework. The work is a how-to reference that does not bog down but gives just enough information to tantalize the needleworker, whether novice or experienced.... The instructions and techniques give all the information you need to start and finish these projects and to use this reference as a stepping-stone to new skills and new interests.... The ultimate straightforward crafting reference...will appeal to all skill levels and most public libraries., The full-color illustrations are helpful, especially for more complex techniques... the coverage has slightly more depth than in similar books., The full-color illustrations are helpful, especially for more complex techniques, and the coverage has slightly more depth than in similar books.... This is a nice all-in-one guide, handy if shelf space (or money) is limited., (starred review) Big is not always beautiful, but in the case of this stunning compendium, big is exactly beautiful. Every needle-wielder, whether novice or experienced, stands to learn--and learn in a greatly enjoyable and remarkably clear way--something new about any or all of the companion crafts that fall under the traditional heading of needlecraft. All the techniques and patterns that are featured in the text--shown in exquisitely colorful and clear photographs--are underscored with the sentiment that ages-old crafts can still result in contemporary-looking projects.... It would make little sense for any active crafts collection to not include this wondrous book., Craft encyclopedias, where basic information about multiple crafts is provided in a single guide, seem to be big business, to judge from how many are being published these days. This one includes basics-and-beyond information about knitting, crochet, quilting (including patchwork and applique), embroidery, and sewing. The full-color illustrations are helpful, especially for more complex techniques, and the coverage has slightly more depth than in similar books. A variety of simple projects are also provided.... This is a nice all-in-one guide.
