Publisher's Synopsis
Cross Stitch Made Easy is the most comprehensive modern book written for the beginner cross stitcher. The book covers all aspects of stitching at beginner level from organizing your materials to framing your finished project. Janis also helps intermediate stitchers with those areas of Cross Stitch they didn't previously know - including how to complete a cross stitch project with edgings, matting, blocking or framing (either having it done professionally or by DIY), or how to complete more advanced stitches, such as the lazy-daisy and needlelace flower stitches. Janis Applegate pulls together her fantastic wealth of accumulated knowledge of this fascinating craft. With 40 years of passionate and practical Cross Stitch experience, Janis has helped countless fellow stitchers with their stitching problems at leading Cross Stitch forums and through the hundreds of Cross Stitch articles she's written and had published across the world wide web.
