Embroidery is often the first stepping stone from quilting for many of us, and its popularity among crafters is no surprise. Being the beautiful, fun, and inexpensive form of needlecraft it is, more and more creatives of all ages and sewing backgrounds are finding interest in hand embroidery, which is probably why it’s so easy to find online tutorials and books on embroidery these days. 


There are many different types of hand embroidery stitches, techniques and styles. If you’re a beginning embroiderer, you might be wondering if there are hand embroidery books for you to learn from, and the answer is yes!

Many beginners immediately want to know what the “best” embroidery books are to add to their library. The answer to that question depends on several factors, starting with your skill level.
