I absolutely adore this workbook. The tutorials are clear and easy to follow, the patterns are so fun, and I am so excited to try out each adorable pattern. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this eArc in exchange for an honest review!

As someone new to embroidery, I thought this book would be a great help on top of having cute patterns and was not disappointed. The opening has a lot of good information on the basics of getting started, including the different ways to put the outline of a pattern on fabric based on the type of fabric you are using. I also love the finishing techniques that are included, especially the double hoop. I was aware of most of these methods since I’m a cross stitcher, but I’ve never seen the double hoop finishing method and I can’t wait to try it.

There is a comprehensive stitch guide included, which is great for beginners like me. If any stitch does not make sense, it is easy to look how a how-to video and it suddenly makes sense. Plus, the patterns have tips geared toward each pattern, such as how to make transferring that particular pattern easier on yourself or choosing a fabric shade to make it pop. There are little ideas on how to take the patterns to the next level if you’re up to it and things like that. I think it’s a great touch.

I absolutely love this book and plan on purchasing it. I can’t wait to make my favorite pattern included, Honeybee Love, when I think I’m up to making something a little more complex. All in all, I think it’s a great book all around and can’t wait to make some of the patterns included.

Loved it! I don’t have a crafty bone in my body but this book sure makes me wish for it! So many cute and adorable designs you can draw onto any fabric and craft. I loved how step by step it was with colorful schemes, and the chapter showing you the different needlepoint stitches.
I’m in the process of moving and getting older but I swear to myself I’m going to slow down soon and give these a try. I’m a beginner but I loved the book!

I received a complimentary copy to read and voluntarily left a review.

This is a gorgeous book full of ideas for creating adorable animal embroideries!
The instructions are full colour, with diagrams, step by step photos, ideas for adapting, and easy clear wording to make this a fail-safe guide!
I am fairly new to embroidery, but as a cross stitcher and sewist I'm eager to get stuck into another kind of needlecraft and I always love stitching and making anything to do with animals!
I have been following the author Jessica Long on Instagram and admire her beautiful designs, so I was delighted to find this book and can't wait to stitch some of my own!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read an advance digital copy of this book in return for my honest review.

This book begins with the fundamentals of choosing materials and setting up, to correcting mistakes and finishing your work for display. There is also a primer for the various stitches used. There is a wonderful variety of animals included in delightful settings. Alas, the ARC provided by the publisher and NetGalley did not include the patterns, so I couldn't try one out. There are so many cute projects in here!

This is a beautiful book with adorable ideas for embroidering a variety of animals, as well as tips on stitching techniques, and more. If you are looking for your next embroidery project, this book will have some great ideas to help you! The photos are also beautiful and well thought out.

The things that make this book special are the Beautiful and Bold Color Pictures. Those are nice to see. Next, this is animal embroidery but had many different patterns that are adorable.

This book is so cute. Such a great start for people who are beginning embroidery. Unlike many embroidery books I found the instructions much clearer, each with a little drawing of what each stitch is and what it's supposed to look like. I'm a very visual person And the book is very visual. I can't wait to get started on trying to do the fox! I mean literally it has all of the cute animals. 🤣

This book gives you everything you need to start making some real cute things. not only does it give you clear vision of stitches and a clear explanation of what you need to do, it also gives you a pattern for each and every animal so that you can easily transfer the pattern (They tell you how) on to your fabric and just get going. I love embroidery and I've always wanted to get involved with it more and this book is going to be the perfect Segway for me and I'm really excited! I think it's good for beginners like me and also still has a lot of value to those who have been doing it for a long time.

This book is perfect for anyone who enjoys Embroidery. I am one of those people. The things that make this book special are the Beautiful and Bold Color Pictures. Those are nice to see. Next, this is animal embroidery, but had many different patterns that are adorable such as The Hedgehog, Llamas, Deer, and the newest popular insect, The Honey Bee. The Honey Bee was my favorite, as they are reducing in population and it is good we are all concerned about them. Plus, my brother maintains Honey Bee Hives.

I am relatively new to embroidery, having mostly done cross stitch before, so the clear explanations on how to properly use Transfer Paper was quite helpful.

So, this is a Beautiful Book! Excellent to Treat Yourself or Give as a Gift to An Embroidery Friend for the Holidays! I would Recommend the Actual Book Over Digital. I find the Book better then Digital for Stitching Art.

This book does an excellent job of describing the basic of embroidery, as well as giving projects that can suit a wide range of experience. The projects start off with basic line embroidery and slowly transitions to projects that are extremely detailed and life like. This book is great from anyone who loves animals and want to learn a new craft. The elephant and the sloth designs are my absolute favorites.

This book had some really beautiful artwork in it. The animal embroidery was fantastic! The book includes embroidery basics as well as detailed instructions on how to create them.

In the digital arc I reviewed (thanks Netgalley!) the pictures were very poorly cropped, I hope this is remedied before the print issue.

This book is fantastic for beginners or more seasoned embroiderers. I loved the detailed descriptions and pictures to guide the reader through the projects. The patterns are adorable and very modern looking/on trend. .The one negative is that I cannot find the patterns to use on the kindle format...I'm hoping this is an oversight that is fixed before publication. Overall, it is a really great book though to make some super cute and creative pieces!

Lots of super cute projects! Instructions seem pretty simply explained and I can't wait to make some of these!

This book is great for anyone interested in embroidery. It has patterns starting with beginner all the way to more advanced. It has the actual patterns in the back to use as a stencil in addition to a how to do each stitch. Very cute animals, and I like that it gives ideas on how to actually use the patterns for example like as a denim patch, etc.

Easily one of my top five embroidery books. Each pattern is fun and usable, which is rare in embroidery because some patterns feel like filler. Not here! Borders are easily separable from the animal, so you can adapt them to lettering or make your own centerpiece. Highly recommend!

This book provides wonderful insight on a tedious hobby. One thing that I was grateful for was the author making sure to point out information that is important in special boxes. The pictures that detail what the basic stitches look like are very clear. I believe that this book can give one enough foundational knowledge to create their own patterns with different combinations of stitches, The pattern difficulties range from 'never threaded a needle before' to 'Master of the needle.'

I loved this book! The instructions are very clear, and the patterns progressed im difficulty so it’s easy to grow im embroidery skills for a beginner while also being very interested for the advanced stitcher. But above all, I love the cute animals, they are very modern and hip, not dull or old fashioned at all, and there are so many patterns I want to stitch it’ll be difficult to choose.

This is a stellar embroidery book for beginners and up. The diagrams for the different stitches are colorful and easy to follow. The photos of the completed work are gorgeous, and the patterns included in the back are nice and big for tracing. I just can't wait to stitch that cute little hedgehog! This is one of the best needlecraft books I have seen lately!

There’s no way in hell I’ll ever be this good at embroidery, but it is lovely to look and see how beautiful someone else’s embroidery could be! I wish I could embroider a happy tabby and a fennec fox and a cute little sloth….

While I had some trouble with the layout on both the NetGalley and Kindle apps (image display on the Kindle and aspect ratio on the other), between the two of them I was able to appreciate this book and conclude that I would love to have a hard copy of it for sure. I have been sewing for years upon years and doing cross-stitch for even longer, but embroidery is not something I have had the occasion to try yet, and the instructions here are thorough enough for a visual learner such as myself that I think I could really get into it with their help.
