Such a lovely book. Very helpful in terms of how to build a design for a border, a background or a collection of items. Clean, crisp and lovely designs with stitch guides, all achievable - and I say this as a rusty left-handed stitcher picking up the needle with glee and already halfway through a hen. Bliss.

I contacted Grace from Beyond Measures regarding Appletons crewel wools and she immediately responded to my query. She gave me all the informations I needed and took the time to list all the colours that were available. When I purchased, my parcel was dispatched on the same day! I am very happy with the service and quality of materials I have received.
Loved this introduction to Sashiko…I am totally hooked. No worries about the instructions being in Japanese ChatGPT translated perfectly. Response from the Beyond measure team were prompt and v helpful. One happy customer returning.
Excellent quality, being a well made hoop and a deeper frame it's so much better at holding the fabric taut
Always a joy to receive an order from Beyond Measure. Quick reliable service. Beautifully wrapped. I love Grace’s leather thimbles, just prefect for hand quilting. Definitely recommend Beyond Measure for all your creative needs. X
I love this stuff, it makes it so easy to transfer embroidery/ Sashiko patterns, I just trace the pattern then sew over the top and it washes away under a running tap.
