SUMMARY- I found the instructions for beginners in this book clear and fairly easy to follow - they are unusual in that she shows you how to create a chain of stitches first, before teaching you how to make rings. You get a nice selection of traditional patterns for edgings, baby clothes, collars, doilies and decoration. I really liked this book.
