The Royal School of Needlework Book of Embroidery: A guide to essential stitches, techniques and projects (RSN series)

Loads of helpful info. Good quality book

A great book and was brought for a gift which was well received

Very wide ranging in techniques covered - not overly complicated but precise introduction to needlework. Please note that there are few if any templates. Overall it is very good, particularly for a hardback book of this size.

I love how each type of embroidery is given its own part in this book. Lots of illustrations as well as instructions about how to get the best results from experts in each area. Has helped my embroidery a massive amount!

A very informative book. Pleased with it.

Lovely book! Good reference book. Would recommend. Minimal knotted stitches though. Would have liked a few more types. Just a note as I’m still fairly new to embroidery. I genuinely struggle to do some stitches when needing to turn a corner, etc I’ve yet to find any book which goes into this detail & with photographs or clear diagrams would be great advantage so I can progress with a higher standard of stitching. I Would be very happy to have a book recommended to me please as I’m not great looking online at videos. I’ve some brain injury from past illness.

This is a great and informative book for embroidery lovers. There is a good section on how to use frames, and finally framing your work that I found useful. With information of different types of embroidery, stitches with instructions, it also has historical information which is really interesting to read about. There are some lovely examples of the embroidery types which gives much inspiration and ideas for projects of your own.

Very useful and high quality pictures and instructive

Too advanced for me. No basic sewing technique to learn from this book

Książka jest bardzo gruba, ma świetne zdjęcia pokazująca różne ściegi i techniki haftu oraz przykłady ich zastosowania. Książka podzielona jest na działy- crewelwork, blackwork, whitework, silk shading, stumpwork, bead embroidery, canvaswork i goldwork i każdy z tych działów jest bardzo dokładnie opisany. Ksiazka jest piękna i jak najbardziej nadaje się również na prezent.

Precioso libro.

I just got this book and had a look through. I love that it includes little blurbs about the history of different kinds of needlework. The breakdown is great, the examples seem thorough, and the picture quality is excellent. It’s a great resource book, and I’m really glad I bought it

J'ai acheté ce livre précédent, je l'ai offert à quelqu'un qui le feuilleté chez moi, et donc je l'ai racheté tant il est riche .Une encyclopédie et un excellent livre pour apprendre les différents points, et techniques de la broderie. De plus il est richement illustré en photos et illustrations pour expliquer les points.
