Review title: Much, much better books out there
Product review: I hate to disagree with the previous reviewer but I don't find this book useful at all. The how-to-stitch portion is the first 11 pages with no diagrams or pictures; the 25 stitches are shown on burlap (which is unique) but are unavailable to learn any stitch that you're not familiar with. And I defy you to discern how you're supposed to make the cutesy elephant shown. That is one of nine stylized pictures that are completely disconnected from the rest of the book. I included in the images the back cover--the only other color photo and its chart inside; I think it's hard to see how to do it.[One of my pet peeves is 8-sided snowflakes. Embroidery fabric is usually a grid but, as here, if you're going free-style--make it 6-sided!]
