Cross-Stitch Books

Post by PaperRockScisorz »

I have a big project coming up, and one of the other people involved wants to learn a bit about stitching. She asked me if I had positive experiences with any cross-stitch books that are out there, but I have never used any.

If you have used any cross-stitch books, could you please post their title & author (or maybe even a link to them) here?

She specifically asked about books of text/fonts so those would be especially helpful, but ANYTHING would be great. Books on how to get started would also be extremely helpful.

Thank you all!

I borrowed this book from the guy who taught me how to stitch and found it pretty good:
