This is such a great, beginner-friendly guide and I love that it's broken up into a 30 day challenge because who doesn't love a challenge at the beginning of the year? I'm planning to do this for January and I can't wait!

Questo libro è davvero un ottimo punto di partenza per chi vuole iniziare a imparare a ricamare, imparando i punti di ricamo principali.
Ogni punto di ricamo viene illustrato da un progetto dedicato e da una descrizione dei vari passaggi per realizzarlo.
Vengono dati anche preziosi suggerimenti per ottenere i risultati migliori.
Piccola nota negativa: le foto dei punti sono davvero troppo piccole. Andrebbero ingrandite.

Per chi, come me, vuole imparare è sicuramente un perfetto punto di partenza per fare un po' di pratica!

Grazie Netgalley per avermi permesso di leggerlo in anteprima.

This book is truly an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to start learning to embroider, learning the main embroidery stitches.
Each embroidery stitch is illustrated by a dedicated project and a description of the various steps to create it.
Valuable suggestions are also given to obtain the best results.
Small negative note: the photos of the stitches are really too small. They should be enlarged.

For those who, like me, want to learn it is certainly a perfect starting point for doing some practice!

Thanks Netgalley for letting me preview it.

Each day the reader will study a new stitch and a project in which you will use it. There is a wide variety of motifs: flowers, birds, plants, and so much more. The projects are simple and should only take an hour or two to finish. Each project builds on the next allowing the reader to improve their skills.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read the ARC for this book. What a wonderful introduction to embroidery through easy to do projects. I can't wait to jump right in to this new-t0-me hobby.

This book is excellent for anyone interested in embroidery. I like having 30 designs to practice the stitches. This book gives you step by step instructions for the projects, bonus challenges, and other ideas to use embroidery.

Thank you NetGalley and Quarry Books for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

30 Days, 30 Stitches, 30 Projects...love it! This easy-to-follow tutorial for learning new embroidery stitches is great! From fabric, to floss, to hoops and supplies, this book will get you started on the right foot. I love all the pictures and step-by-step instructions. The pictures are great! Everything about this made me feel like "hey, I can do that!" Can't wait to try these projects! A really great guide to embroidery!

This a great book for beginners and regular embroiders who want fun projects and an embroidery challenge!
Thank you, NetGalley for allowing me to review this.

Have you always how embroidery was done? If you don’t know and want to learn how to do it, this is the book for you. I know how how to embroider but my stitches were limited. I even took a class which helped but it was so fast that I did miss how to do it. I now can do all the stitches in the book. It’s great to use because it starts out with what tools you need to get started with. It starts out with an easy stitch to do. I will admit with her clear instructions as you go through the book you should have no trouble doing the stitches and projects. It gives valuable tips. There are tips for finishing and showing off the hoops. The author sugges items that you can embroider that you might not think of. There are two bonus projects you can do too. Have fun! It’s a great skill to have. I also found that some of those stitches are useful for mending.

This has some really cure patterns. I like that each day and pattern builds upon the stitches from the previous days. I could have maybe used a few more pictures of how to do the stitches but I am also a very visual learner.

This book is a terrific introduction to embroidery. As activities like slow stitching and visual mending become more popular, a text like this is a terrific addition to a classroom or makerspace library.

What makes this book particularly effective is that each stitch is introduced with an individual design. All the design templates are provided in the book. This allows for multiple points of entry for learners. As a stitcher becomes more confident, they can choose to combine stitches and create their own designs. An embroiderer who is already familiar with the basics may find that their entry point is the middle of the book, or may simply choose a design that appeals to them. For people who want to use embroidery as a meditative task, the idea of tackling a stitch a day, and creating small samplers may be exactly the entry point they need. The clear instructions for how to finish a piece are also very helpful.

The book is well-illustrated, and can easily be supported with a quick Google search, if learners want a video of a particular stitch.

I taught myself how to sew and embroider through trial and error. My crafts are good, some are even great, but I definitely needed some help.
Thank Jessica Anderson for the Embroidery 101. I've been stitching for more than 10 years and it took me until now to learn that I should be using different embroidery needles and that there's a better way to finish off my project than using a hot glue gun. I'm sure I could have learned all of these things had I simply looked it up, but honestly, I didn't really think about it until I found this book.

I'm sure there will be deferring opinions on this, but I found the worded description for each stitch easier to follow than the pictures. For the most part, the diagrams were not clear to me.
I would recommend this book to all beginners and anyone who already enjoys embroidery and is looking for some tips (like me).

Thank you so much for letting me read and review!

I love this book tutorial! Previously I was just using Youtube. I understood all the directions in this book and the pictures were perfect. The designs are also beautiful. High recommend! Thank you for the ARC! Well done!

30 Day Challenge: Embroidery is a simple and beautiful guide to getting started with embroidery. The patterns are simple but pretty, and it makes embroidery seem easy and accessible for a newcomer. I like how it’s designed to be just a simple pattern each day. There are also traceable designs in the book to get started on your own embroidering.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarry Books for an advanced copy of this book!

As someone who is new to embroidery myself, I love the idea behind this book. Each day in this 30 day challenge teaches you a new stitch and gives you a project to put your new skills to work. It includes all the essential basics for getting started, like how to correctly secure your fabric in the embroidery hoop, starting and stopping stitches, transferring images, et cetera. And all the projects are both approachable as a beginner, but also something you’ll be proud to have made and will want to show off to friends and family, or even give as gifts. The instructions are simple and are accompanied by diagrams, which I found easy to interpret. It even includes bonus projects and traceable templates for the projects in the back. Overall, I think this is an excellent resource for beginners.
