As with all stitches, the variations are covered and are explained using hand drawn pictures. Colour photos show a variety of finished projects and a gallery of completed beadwork gives you some ideas of what can be created. There are four projects, with clear step by step instructions, which cover all the techniques taught in the book. The Herringbone stitch is the hardest of the beadweaving stitches to learn but this is because it isn't as straight forward as the others!
