Great for Beginners

This book covers the things a beginner needs to know to do some projects without going into too much detail or bogging the new puncher with unnecessary details. Each of the projects are simple to do, and go gradually up in skill level, leaving the puncher with a feeling of accomplishment.

nice book...

I got this book to learn about punchneedle. the book gives some background on it then goes to the designs which i didnt care about. but that is my taste and I didnt expect to find a design I like when i was purchasing this book. I wish it had more techniques :)

Great For Beginners

I bought this and did not put it down until I was finished. It is easy to follow with some cute patterns to try. It gave me great tips on what to do with my projects. I wish there were more of those tips though.
