Cheerful and cheeky good for handicrafts

I love this book! I've just started cross stitching, but the brief instructions at the beginning of the book are enough to get you started. I have already made a few templates and I really like them and I have a request to make one for a friend. Those are cheeky little sayings. I also really appreciate the caption charts at the end, which I plan to use in the future to try and piece together some of my own little sayings. The book also includes a good selection of borders.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • old

Great, even for beginners!

I love it! It is so much fun. I ended up buying some of that red guide line (essentially red line - see pic, I bought it from Revain) to use with this one. I'm a beginner and found this easy to use. If it helps, I fold the material in half in both directions and that helps me start the pattern. He suggests starting in the middle, and this process helps. :) Also, you can mix and match borders if you plan it right. I also make other colors than the recommended ones, so let your creativity run…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Nothing

Too much swearing and negativity for me

Too much swearing and negativity for me to appreciate. And I speak as someone who, even at 70 months, still likes to use colorful language from time to time. I thought the description wasn't specific enough what to expect. I bought it hoping to find a selection of alphabet fonts. There were a lot of words (some I wish I'd seen less) but not a variety of print types. I would return it if I didn't have to pay the return shipping cost. The lesson taught me to be more careful when choosing books…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Gorgeous Funny Patterns

I bought this for my wife who has a great sense of humor and has recently taken up cross stitch as a new hobby. This book was perfect for her. She likes the patterns for their subversive content and really appreciates that the patterns are in full color. She used to print templates from the internet, but with a black and white printer, she had to rely on templates printed with different characters to represent colors. This has become extremely tiring, especially for designs with more than 30…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Very Expensive

I totally loved this book!

I wish I could give this MORE stars! It was exactly what I was looking for! I've recently returned to cross stitch. I bought a cute set from the store that had everything I needed. When I finished that, I couldn't wait to start a new project. The problem was that I couldn't find any other attractive kit. That didn't suit my style. Most looked like things my grandmother could have made. No offense to grandmothers. One day it will be me, but right now I wanted something that fit my character and…

Pros
  • Excellent overall
Cons
  • Doubtful
