Very very useful. Lots of projects and about 15 unique techniques are clearly described in this book. I have now a better view about how elaborated can be quilling as form of art. In fact Quilling Techniques seems to be the book with the most projects compared to other books that are now in the bookstores. I like the short stories from each chapter, Cosmina is a nice and curious character. A book that I recommend.
There was little beyond basic techniques to be learned. I expected this,as a book 2, to be more advanced. P!us, the writing was so flowery it read like a middle school essay. Sorry to be so blunt, but it was a disappointment.
Instructions not easy to follow. Illustrations are not terribly clear - and don’t show the stages required. This may not be necessary for the experienced quilter, but the examples are too simple for that category.
