A-Z of Thread Painting (A-Z of Needlecraft)

Another outstanding book by Australian publisher that includes the techniques and projects from various embroiderers from around the world. All techniques have step by step photographs as well as the descriptions. Projects feature the supply list of all threads used and the sequence of the work. In the end of the book there are all patterns with stitch directions shown. There are not many books on the market that teach thread painting, they are mostly on Chinese embroidery, but this one is one of the best. You just cannot go wrong with Country Bumpkins publications. They also have a magazine for embroidery lovers called Inspirations that is worth buying as well.

As usual, Country Bumpkin have come up with another winner. Their amazing instruction books are worth every penny, and it arrived safely, packed in a very sturdy cardboard box, along with two other books on the same subject. I definitely recommend this book, with its wonderful, easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction photos, along with lovely designs to work yourself.

The book was more than I expected. Great information and instructions. Highly recommend it.

Like all A-Z books, this book is excellent! Equally important is Customer Service is also 5 star!!! There was a problem with shipping and Woodery USA resolved the issue immediately!

Gorgeous embroidery photos by talented artists. However, it is strictly hand embroidery (my bad, I took thread painting to mean free motion machine embroidery). There are no 'paint by number' diagrams, you are on your own to match up esoteric Australian thread brand/color names to written instructions--very 19th century--to an outline drawing--only in one or two is there even a thread to thread color key. You have to have a very good eye for color against the color photograph. Not for a beginner by any means-but beautiful photography!

I do a lot of crafts I like to learn things new all the time it's book was very helpful thank you

This is an excellent book! I hope to make use of it during the winter months.

So many levels of projects you can do. Great instructions. I especially love the wolf on the cover.

The book is nice and offers lots of patterns but I think it lacks in instructions. It could be a good source for experts but not for begineers. It doesn't give explanations or detailed pictures the could help you in managing the projects. There are only written information that in my opinion are difficult to be followed for beginners.

Livro fantástico com projetos incríveis, de vários artistas ao redor do mundo, com inúmeras fotografias e step by step de cada projeto. Um sonho pra quem é historiador e artista do bordado como eu.

Hat gut gefallen, schöne Bildbeispiele.
