This is a wonderful CD - I have printed out a project and with the very easy to follow instructions I have completed successfully my first Hardanger piece! The videos are very easy to follow and make it crystal clear on exactly what to do. A fantastic way to learn this technique. I hope there will be many more books like this for stitching! P.S.
