Industry Reviews

"Brandeis takes us on a journey into the expressive nature of stitch . . . reveals how to manipulate stitches much like an artist might a pencil or paintbrush." -- Embroidery Magazine
"Many books deal with stitch types in a bland similar manner. Brandeis here incorporates suggestions within this book, such as how to use text in a thread way . . . merging handwriting with expression . . . in stitch!" -- Ailish Henderson, Mr. XStitch Magazine
