Buy the Book Instead of the Cards
This sounded like a good idea. I once had needlepoint instruction cards that were only slightly larger than regular playing cards and were held together on a metal ring. I loved that and used it all the time, but gave it away 10 years ago when health problems made it difficult to do needlepointing. My problems have improved and I'm back needlepointing, but I've forgotten how do many stitches. I searched everywhere for a product like the one I gave away, but found nothing. When I saw these cards by Emma Homment, I was delighted and ordered them immediately. Unfortunately, the cards are so big that they are hard to handle. Plus, they don't slide like regular cards. Flipping through them to find the stitch I want takes much too long because they are hard to separate. I ended up buying Emma Homment's book and got instructions for more than twice the number of stitches than the cards. Plus I can dog ear the corner of the pages to get quick access to my favorite stitches. The cards and the book are full color with excellent and easy to understand instructions and beatiful designs. I'd definitely give Emma Homment's Needlepoint: A Modern Stitch Directory 5 stars because of it's ease of use, more patterns and easier to locate stitch instructions than her card set.

Decent but not necessary
Good collection of stitches, some are repetitive and overly simple though when the stitch itself is intuitive. Still don’t regret the purchase, and better than having a book to flip through

So convenient when learning to embroider
Really love these cards and they arrived just as described. It is so much more convenient to have a card in front of you than trying to keep an instruction book open - and such clear instructions too. What a good idea for this type of hobby.
