Do not buy this book

This is the worst copy of the original book I have ever seen. To use it you need to redraw the diagram and fill in the gaps. It's a shame that the original author was such a well-known and easy-to-read template that it fell into shambles.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Filled with patterns perfect for turning into cross stitch

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different

Pros
  • Inspires Confidence
Cons
  • Out of Style
