Nauczyłam się naprawdę fajnych wypukłych ściegów, bardzo jasno i wyraźnie wytłumaczone. Polecam komuś kto wiąże swoje hafciarskie pomysły ze sprzedażą zestawów, bo bardzo fajna instrukcja przygotowania takiego zestawu. Podoba mi się też krótka i jasna opowieść o kolorach. Brakuje mi wspólnego wykonania takiego haftu finałowego, ale może dlatego, że jestem początkująca i te podstawowe hafty muszę sobie ogarnąć gdzie indziej.
