Customer Reviews

Very easy, very nice

If you're into crocheted trims, this is an excellent book. There is nothing not to like about this book. The trims are detailed but the author is very thorough with her recommendations and easy instructions.

I have really enjoyed this book!

150 Crochet Trims by Susan Smith is a wonderful and helpful collection of trims and edgings and motifs. I recommend it to anyone who is wanting to add a beautiful touch to any outfit. I was glad to find a recent book with so many trim ideas. This book has also been very inspirational in giving me ideas of some new edgings that I had not thought of.

Nice eye candy!

I love crochet books! But I was getting a little disappointed with what was out there. The same old same old. However, 150 Crochet Trims really delivers and then some. There are trims, braids, motifs, plus projects to put your new skills to work. I enjoyed the beaded, sequined and dangly-bits that can be crocheted with a minimum of time and effort but looking like what you'd see on a designer's drawing board. I highly recommend this book for you needlework reference library.

Crochet Trims of evey kind

I loved this book. Beautifully illustrated, has detailed instructions, and even has a basic skills instruction section in the back. It showed how to do beaded crochet trims, textured trims, fringes, and motifs. Also in the back, it showed how to do textured crochet, crochet in the round, working spike stitches and more. It is an excellent book for anyone who crochets because everyone needs to trim something at one point or another when creating a crochet project.

AHH! So Happy I Bought this book!

I have many knitting and crochet books so I was reluctant to get this one thinking that it would be like all the others. I was so WRONG!! It was exactly what I needed! Many different finishing stitches and very pretty ones too! I can really use this book and the intructions are very clear. Absolutely Great!! Can't spot any stitches that appear to be very hard to work. I love color and this book is has it. Pictures are very nice! Buy it --you won't regret it! I'm well pleased with this purchase!!
