We did our best to explain these stitches in a way we hope makes sense, but if you do find yourself needing some more visual help, you can find videos for all the stitches in this book on the Daisy Farm Crafts YouTube Channel. All the stitch instructions in this book are also available for free on daisyfarmcrafts.com." --
