Reader Reviews
This is a truly fantastic book. Even if you don't want to learn how to actually digitize designs, you will benefit a great deal from learning how they are digitized, leading to better stitchouts and projects. The book is full of pictures that clearly demonstrate the easy-to-understand text. It takes what can be a very complicated process and breaks it down into simple steps that anyone can understand. I have an easier time choosing proper stabilizers and fabrics now that I understand the concepts this book presents. If you machine embroider, this definitely needs to be on your bookshelf!
