Book Reviews of Cross-Stitch Designs From China
Book Review: What a disappointment!
Summary: 2 Stars
What a waste! These are beautiful designs but they are almost unusable due to poor charting. For some reason, these designs are charted using colored squares only (where has this designer been?? Hasn't she seen or heard the endless complaints from stitchers about this form of charting??). Granted there are some black & white symbol charts at the back of the book but only 12 designs out of about 60 are there (does this indicate the designer actually does know there is a problem with her charts?). Often the key is on a different page than the chart making it even more ludicrous to try to determine which color is which.The only way I would be able to stitch many of these designs is if I first scaned them into Adobe Photoshop or a needlework charting program and let it tell me which squares go with which thread numbers (I haven't tried this yet).
If you want some gorgeous oriental designs that you can easily stitch see Joan Elliott's "A Cross Stitcher's Oriental Odyssey" - it is certainly a much better value for your money.
