Excellent for beginner or intermediate beaders!
While the book has less projects than I anticipated (based solely on the cover), I found the book to be an excellent reference book.The book explains fundamental things such as “warp too wide” and “warp to narrow” with explanations on how you can adjust. The pictures are in color, so it is easy to see how it should look. Probably the most important thing I came away with was the “Pull and Pray” method of warping, which leaves you with only 2 warp threads to weave (yay!). Her suggestion to use nylon for the warp thread is priceless; you won’t split a nylon thread as you are weaving.Since findings to finish bracelets can be quite dear, the book gives you a number of options for finishing your project. Included in this is a “cap” using Ultra Suede or felt (teeny, tiny pieces) that allows you to use almost any type of finding to finish.Most of the projects have variations that let you use your favorite colorway, and some of them have ways of using different size beads.This is the book to buy if you are a beginner or even intermediate loom beader. If you are the type of crafter that can run with an idea, get it!

Not exactly what I ordered, but okay.
The beading part of this book seems to be very informative. That part will help me learn the various designs. However, in the middle of the book between pages 62 and 63, are several pages of a childrenâs book called Wade Through the Pandemic. No mention of this in the book description, no way to remove the section without ruining my book. Just not sure how it got there.

Comprehensive guide for beginners and advanced users
I rarely give anything a 5 star rating because something has to be truly exceptional for me to give it a perfect score. This books earns my 5 star rating because it is very comprehensive. I have other beading loom books that have left me scratching my head trying to figure out how to do something because the author skips over important information. Not this author. This book is so well written that you could hand it to a beginner who has never used a beading loom or even used seed beads before and they could get it right the first time they tried.However, this book also covers advanced techniques such as edging techniques, adding fringe, adding beads off the side and using beads other than seed beads in your looming.This book is over 900 pages and provides multiple patterns and projects that are used to teach you starting from a basic design to advanced designs.
