Title: Not a book for beginners
Product review: This book is absolutely not for someone wanting to learn hardanger for the first time. It does have some good tips and beautiful pictures. I suppose if one is very familiar with hardanger and has some experience with it, this book would be quite helpful.I purchased it based upon it being "a complete and practical course," but was sorely disappointed from that aspect.However I have enjoyed looking through it and reading it. I am hoping that eventually I will understand the terminology and will get some use out of this book.I was looking for something more detailed with regard to the type of thread, the thread count of the fabric needed, how to secure stitches and what the work should look like from behind. I will admit, I am a "dummy" at this point on the subject of hardanger embroidery.A good buy and helpful book, though, if only for inspiration and ideas.
