I love embroidery, I really, really do. I love that there are so many different stitches, something to suit any taste and any project.
Some stitches are easy and some are a bit more complicated. Or they seem complicated at first glance, but when you give them a go, they aren't all that difficult.
The idea behind Stitching Borders and Beyond is to spread the love for some of those stitches that look a bit confusing. Because they really are nice stitches and more people should know and love them!

Stitch guide from the ebook
The book is not for 'complete beginners'. Knowledge of the Daisy stitch, French knot and Cross stitch are, if not absolutely necessary, pretty useful. Of course, you can learn those three stitches in my beginner's embroidery ebook, Small Stitches.
