One Simple Stitch – why is it so good?

‘a great advance in embroidery technique books with the video instruction, it is much easier to follow and understand than any book I have read‘ – Karen Platt’s Book Reviews

‘In this great e-book from Vivebooks/Rainbow Disks Helen teaches a whole new approach to embroidery. She simplifies embroidery to such an extent that everyone will want to try.

Helen shows you that there is no need to know fancy stitches, or to follow complicated stitch guides, instead you work from a template (which you can print from the book) and a directional guide and use just ‘one simple stitch’ to make all the stunning projects in this book.
The book includes useful video clips showing Helen demonstrating the techniques used in the book.‘ – The Sewing Directory

‘brilliant format . .really useful . . .The video segments are really short and specific, in this case perfect for illustrating Helen Stevens’ one-stitch embroidery techniques close-up. One Simple Stitch is a very good embroidery lesson, the technique is simple, and the designs are very impressive. The lesson itself is first rate; the six designs are beautiful and exceptionally clearly described. There are tracing images, colour charts, stitch direction charts and finished images for every design, as well as detailed stitching instructions for each. This is an excellent ebook. – Popular Patchwork
