Review on 🧵 Judith Baker Montano's Embroidery & Craz: 180+ Stitches & Combinations Expert Tips for Left and Right-Handed Crafters [JUDITH BAKER MONTANOS EM] by Sasha Hsiao

This is an embroidery stitch guide specially designed for quilt enthusiasts. It's a very small book - just a guess, I'd say no more than four inches by five. But it's rolled up and stands on its own so you can lay it next to you as you embroider to see how the stitches you make work. The instructions are simple and clear, fully illustrated and the instructions are for both left and right handed people! never heard before. Many are designed to work in a straight line to cover the seams of your crazy quilt. Others serve to fill in gaps. There's even a section at the end showing examples of how to combine different stitches with stunning results! Most embroidery stitches are designed to be used with regular thread, but some are designed for silk ribbon and some for wool thread. it was pretty unimpressive. Thanks to this book I have finally created a richly embroidered quilt that actually LOOKS like a real quilt! I couldn't be happier. Five stars and highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn basic embroidery or crazy quilting.
