Customer Reviews

Informative and Creative

If you're interested in paper stitching, or have done it before but don't know what to use it for, this book will be a great purchase. The ideas are creative, though most require material that you wouldn't have around the house. It's not fantastic, but it's a nice book to flip through to get ideas.
