Customer Reviews

Excellent photos, with detailed instructions

I found this book in a local library, and started a quest to get a copy of my own. It's very clearly photographed and written. The projects are more interesting and colorful than a lot of starter books in bobbin lace. I learned how to add beads to projects with this, and love the bracelet project. It is one of my favorite beginner books that I would recommend to friends.
