Customer Reviews

I just got the book and find it very informative .

I have a question actually. For the Victorian Doll's House Carpet, the color chart doesn't seem to match up with the displayed rug. (page 67 Needlepoint - A foundation course). Could you help me with this? Thank you.

Perect for beginners & experienced stitchers alike

Needlepoint - A Foundation Course by Sandra Hardy is a wonderful book. perfect for needlepoint beginners like me. it takes you through all the why's & wherefores before you start stitching. it also describes each stitch in detail, explaining advantages & disadvantages of each stitch in including strength, finished look & coverage. the book uses large easy diagrams & has a small project for each stitch to get you comfortable. there are larger projects in the book in later chapters where beadwork, tramming, shading, decorative stitches, petit point, waste canvas, space dying & designing are covered. there is also an excellent section on finishing.the charts in the book are black & white & reasonably clear. large margins are used & the book has a "lay flat" soft cover, so you can easily view the charts. not like some books where the charts disappear up the middle of the spine. there is a note in the front saying it's ok to photocopy charts from the book as stitcher's aides.
