Great book. Very helpful for this left-hander who thought she’d never be able to learn. Also, great customer service – I had a computer issue and lost my books, including this one, and they were prompt to help me and again give me the link, despite the length of time since I had originally bought it. Very impressive.

This e book exceeded expectations.
would love a hardcopy for my library.
I was trying to teach my daughter to hand embroider but she is left handed and I am right handed. it really was one of the only books I could find. That being said, it’s the most comprehensive book (both left and right handed) I have found. Worth every penny! I actually printed it off and it’s entirety (300 beautiful pages with lovely and accurately helpful photos) and put it in a small binder for her to take with her to college.

I have not found many books made for left-handers. Like many others, I had just learned the drill of reversing the stitches. I got a copy of Sarah’s eBook yesterday and tried a few stitches that I had always found tricky to follow. It worked! I did not have to figure out how to do the stitch. The illustrations are brilliant. In fact, some of the stitches just seem much easier now! Finally, I can just enjoy learning new stitches without much frustration. This book is clear, concise, and informative.
