I've got a friend who would like to learn how to embroider. Specifically she would like to make something for a new nephew who will be arriving early next year. Unfortunately I am not well versed in embroidery and am not sure in which direction to point her. She's looking for a place to buy supplies and general information on how to get started. I know a number of you do embroider and it's lovely. I am hoping you might have a few suggestions for her. Stores, books, maybe even an online class or two that will help her get started. I think my favorite needlework stores only specialize in cross stitch, so I'm not sure how helpful it would be to give her those links.
Any help is most appreciated! Thanks, everyone!
