SUMMARY- The instructions are clearly written and she is very generous with the illustrations. I believe someone could learn to needle tat using this booklet. My one complaint is she left out a photo of the maple leaf made up! I'm a sucker for leaf patterns of any sort, so was quite happy to have picked up this little booklet just for that, but her other patterns, while simple enough for a beginner, are also attractive. I'm giving this one a thumbs up.
