Meh. It's worth checking out from the library to see if there's a specific design that might be good for your project, but I didn't really find anything I wanted to stitch here. I was hoping for more realistic flower designs to add to handkerchiefs, and I was also looking for nicer-looking birds (put a bird on it. Obviously) Most of the designs are really dated. Even the monograms which I found surprising. How can alphabets be 90s fantastic? Not sure -- but they are.
No real instruction so this is not a beginner book, though the patterns are very simple. There are 2 pages of "instructions" in the appendix, but they would not be helpful if you've never embroidered before.
Overall, I might check this out from the library again, but I wouldn't buy a copy for my own reference collection.
