Traditional Chinese Designs Iron-on Transfer Patterns (Dover Iron-On Transfer Patterns) By Barbara Christopher
This is the third time I have purchased this book. The designs are worth doing again if you like Oriental designs. 978-1841577685 The transfer designs in this book are so beautiful and the ink transfers well. But what really makes this book special are photos for guidlines of the finished work. The book also has illustrated stitch details, and provides color and stitch keys with clear directions. 978-1841577685 This book is chock full of great iron on transfers but on top of that, it gives instructions for embroidering the transfers! Many collections of iron on transfers supply instructions only for ironing the designs, not for embroidering them. For those like me who are new to 978-1841577685

It was all I was hoping for. I wanted the transfers to do tambour embroidery with. The florals are perfect for tambour embroidery. 978-1841577685 This book is wonderful but it's not for beginners. It's probably best for people who have a little experience in embroidery and has a solid grasp on the following stitches: satin stitch, padded satin stitch, long and short, couching, french knot, split stitch, lazy daisy, 978-1841577685 Didn't realized the pattern book was not new. Had patterns cut out and used. been embroidering for 60 years and disappointed. 978-1841577685 Love the variety 978-1841577685 Good guide to stitches and techniques. Photos really helpful! 978-1841577685
