Format:Taschenbuch
I have been doing needlepoint for 20 years. I checked this book out of my local library expecting to spend 15 minutes skimming it for a new idea -- my usual practice with books of this type. Three hours later, I still couldn't put it down, and I decided that I needed to order this book from amazon.com in the morning. I thought my technique was as good as it could be, but I discovered from this book that I had been ignoring the "nap" of my fiber. I was extremely impressed with the section on stitches -- it includes many I have never seen before, and all of the stitches that show up in the newest charted patterns for sale at your local needlework store. The stitches are presented in sections that make for fun and easy project planning. In short, this is a fabulous book and I can't wait until my own copy arrives.

Excellent Reference 22. Januar 2000

This book is like a bible to a needlepointer...I keep it right by my side, especially when starting a new project. Good pictures, lots of them, and easy intructions...I'm self taught and this has been a valuable tool.

Superb, with lots of detail! 30. Dezember 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
I had borrowed the 1976 edition from the library and found it very helpful and a useful reference. But a friend gave me the 1999 edition for Xmas. It is superb!

1) The photos are great -- all the needlework looks like true works of art. The 1976 edition pieces photographed look hopelessly amateurish by comparison -- not to mention garishly 1970's!

2) The author goes into much greater detail about the varieties of yarns and their properties, as well as stitching techniques. There are also MANY more photos on the various steps: blocking and finishing, evaluating your designs, colors, etc.

3) Finally, the author has further annotated the stitches section to include her comments (in addition to the stitch diagram, photo and stitch properties chart (yarn hog, good backing, etc.). She had notes (e.g. "this is a stand-alone stitch") in the prior version, but she does this to a far greater extent in this edition, which I find helpful.

One thing, however, I would have liked to see in this book (perhaps alongside the bibliography) is a resources list, perhaps listing the American Needlepoint Guild and its classes for design and color, etc. Perhaps also a point made that ideas can be gotten in needlework classes at your local shop, etc.

All in all, though, this book is truly an investment for anyone doing needlepoint!
