Introduction to Basic Embroidery & Cross Stitch

This fantastic book features techniques for embroidery, cross stitch, and tiny applique. In addition to the wonderful patterns and charts, the book also includes ideas for finished products.

Note that the book is written in Japanese, but patterns and schematics are included. Crafters who cannot read Japanese but who have some embroidery experience are usually able to interpret the instructions without any trouble, and others can use the projects as inspiration for their own creations.
