If you need a review of some basic hand stitching patterns this was quick and helpful. If you know basic hand stitching patterns this would not be any help to you as there was nothing about interesting designs or complicated techniques.
This is an excellent introduction to embroidery as a concept, with some discussion of color theory and the relationship of contemporary stitching to traditional crafts. The tutorial covers enough basic stitches that a person can start to develop their own favorite techniques for freehand compositions.
