Needle Painting Embroidery: Fresh Ideas For Beginners Paperback – 1 Aug. 2011

Gorgeous book with a few step by step instructions. I have done a couple of the birds and it has easy to follow instructions

This book is fabulous. The instructions are very clear. I'm a beginner, always wanted to try needle painting, and really glad I bought the book. I was surprised that my first attempt looked similar to the one in the book! Plenty of pictures and as you move through the book its divided sections easy to experienced. It's like having a good friend teaching you. I will treasure this book, and would buy others from the author too.

Well worth the wait! This new title ties in perfectly with Trish's DVD, introducing the techniques of long and short stitch. Trish Burr is a self-taught embroiderer. This book is the perfect introduction for a beginner to master the techniques of long and short stitch, but also challenging enough to satisfy the experienced embroiderer, who is perhaps seeking a smaller project to make into a gift or card. There are fifteen designs including a detailed introduction to long and short stitch and a handy stitch glossary. The photos are clear and combined with clear instructions, that take you through each stage. You will also find the practice motifs that Trish demonstrated exceptionally well in her DVD. All the projects use DMC or Anchor threads (DMC colours listed but you can easily get a conversion chart). My heartfelt thanks to Trish for sharing this wonderful technique with us and for keeping embroidery alive! Happy stitching!

Excellent guide for those who want to give this type of embroidery a try. It’s guides are well written and easy to follow. The amount of projects included are really good and include both simple starter projects and leading to more advanced projects. I totally recommend this book.

I'm just beginning to learn needle painting. I bought this book because I find Trish Burr gives very clear instructions. I don't always find written embroidery instructions with diagrams easy to understand but I don't have any problem with these. She gives details of the type of materials best to use for needle painting and a list of tools you will need for each project.

Lovely book but not really for beginners , however there are easier books for learning this technique before moving on to this one and I hope one day I can produce this quality of work !

A beautiful book to look at with lovely patterns to follow.

This is a beautiful book, the quality of the the pages and the stunning pictures are great. I bought this book to help teach me needle painting, the book contains transfer patterns and different motifs to trace and practice with.
