Do any of you ladies have suggestions for an easy to use, inexpensive book of embroidery? It's been so long since I've embroidered anything, I need to re-learn the stitches. I need help!!

the ANG- American Needlepoint Guild has stitches on line - if you do not want to buy a book - this is a good resource

Oh Wow! Thanks so much for the offer Marcy!
I actually have the Wine Country and the Coffee set of Aunt Martha's Iron on Transfers. This Winter I would like to do a couple sets of tea towels for my sister and sister - in law. But I don't want to mess them up. It has been ages since I've embroidered anything. I do a lot of cross stictch, but I want the towels to look really nice and I'm nervous to start them because I feel like I don't know what I'm doing.

Sarah, look it up on you tube. There is probably something on there that can help you too. I use it alot when I need a visual image of someone doing something.

Hi Sarah,
I have some Aunt Martha's iron on embroidery patterns in different topics that I could send you. What are you interested in? Some have been opened, but they are unused. If you are interested, let me know and I will send you some. The embroidering stitch is mostly just a backstitch with maybe some lazy daisy's or french knots, which are pretty easy.
Take care

If you want a book. This is a really good one with plain to very fancy. This is a very cheap price for it.

Thank you so much ladies!! It's just sad that it's gotten so difficult to find a PERSON who could teach you to embroider.

Someone sent in the site Sublime Stitching on another thread. I looked it up and it has some online instructions there.
They also have some neat patterns you can order too. There is even some camper-themed ones!
