ニードルポイント：モダンステッチディレクトリ

The step-by-step diagrams for each of the 100+ stitches are so clear that I finally tackled a tricky pattern I'd been avoiding. The section on tools and materials alone saved me from buying the wrong needles and thread.

The photo tutorials for each stitch are so clear I’ve already tackled three new techniques this weekend, and the breakdown of tools saved me from buying junk I didn’t need. It’s the kind of book you’ll keep flipping back to for years.

I was worried the stitch diagrams might be confusing, but the step-by-step photos with clear arrows make each technique easy to follow. Even the section on choosing needles and thread is surprisingly thorough.
