Review TAS Newsletter - January 1, 2009
“...offers instructions for 180 stitches as well as a brief outline of materials and tools. I found the chart matching fabric…to thread…to needles very helpful. This book is also spiral bound at the top with an easel back which allows in to stand up. It's size, 5” x 6”, makes it very easy to tuck into your stitching bag.”

"This is the second book of Judith Baker Montano that I received. It is a dandy small easy to follow stitch book that would be wonderful for a beginner or experienced stitchers. I am sure a lot is a repeat of what I have in her other books but in this it is all together in one small, easy to handle book. It actually has a stand-up easel type feature that you can flip easily while stitching. I would also give this a 4 star rating for all the features I mentioned above. Great for people that travel a lot or for stay at home gals like me. "

"This great little book by Judith Baker Montano is easy to carry with you and provides a quick and easy guide for all of the basic crazy quilt stitches. The stand-up easel makes it easy to use as a hands-free reference and the left-handed version of stitches is a helpful idea for us lefties."
