Reviews From CustomersWho Purchased This Item
from United States on 03/05/2020 - A bit disappointed in book So far I'm considering this book a let down for the expense. I guess I was expecting too much. If it weren't for the very excellent videos available I'd rate it even lower. The pictures are not very clearly marked for a raw beginner to specialty stitches.
