Book Reviews of The Threads & Crafts book of Ribbon Embroidery and Stumpwork (Threads & Crafts)

Book Review: Better than I thought
Summary: 5 Stars

Many of the previous reviews complained that you needed to buy the kit from South Africa, in order to perform the work. Or that there wasn't enough detail and how to.
I have never done this kind of work before and I found it easy as pie! And fun!
The biggest point that might need to be stressed are that the image, which you transfer on to your cloth, needs a transfer. Simply buy transfer sheets (like you would for a T-shirt), then use the "mirror" image on your copy machine; poof! It's ready to go on your cloth and when you iron it on, the words will be facing the right direction instead of accidently inverted.
But talk about opening up a wide, wide world of three dimensional work 3-D. We always think people from the previous centuries just weren't as smart as us, but they were AMAZING to come up with something that is so much fun!
Try it once and enjoy it for years!
