Great Starter Book

If you are wanting to learn SRE or trying to improve your technique I think this book will help you. I would have liked to have had it when I first learned. A lot of what is in the book I have learned from my own experience, so learning it when first beginning is helpful. I think this book along with the A-Z of Silk Ribbon Embroidery would be an awesome start to really take off in SRE. She covers a lot of technique and if I was to teach someone I'd use this book. The illustrations aren't the best alone but the descriptions and explanations are great.
