The author gives valuable advice on organising an embroidery group and planning a project, including finding workers, forming a committee and raising funds. There is a whole chapter on choosing a design and the following chapters deal with specific types of suitable work : panels and wall hangings; Church vestments, furnishings and kneelers; chairs, stools and tablecloths; screens and banners and quilts. Teachers, or others working with children and young embroiderers, will find suggestions for appropriate projects that can be tackled by schools or groups.
