Magic Blue Aquilegia

I don't know if this review will be useful. I haven't started the embroidery yet. It's my next project!.
The instructions are clear and comprehensive. Showing how to set up a frame and transfer the design. The coloured diagrams show clearly where to use each colour to achieve a beautiful shaded flower.
Thank you

5 stars.

I love the PDF and the stitch guide is brilliant. I’m a beginner and this resource is so helpful for my learning.
Thought I didn’t like written instructions until I read this.
