Customer Reviews

Large patterns for once!

This book has a relatively good coverage of Victorian era designs. The patterns are large, so photocopy and enlargment is easy and clear. Designs are also relatively simple (I would consider this book for the advanced beginner or intermediate). There are few very intricate patterns traditional of the richest stained glass panels, but you surely have a lot of very nice patterns for your home.

Author Provides Patterns for Today's Hobbiest

The first step to my using Mr. Sibbett's designs is to scan them. He provides clearly defined, good quality images that scan well at high resolution. The quality of images is not always apparent to the naked eye. The images are large enough to duplicate well without loosing detail. For my purposes the max of three images a page at most works well. Other books may have more patterns but they loose quality when made larger.
