Tips and techniques are sketchy at best Carrie Beth This book has some attractive patterns, so, if you're just looking for patterns to blindly copy, it is probably fine.

Although not as generous with her "Tips & Tricks" as a beginner might like, Sowell more than makes up for it with interesting ideas, creative patterns (appropriate for photocopying), and imaginative uses for artistically cut paper.
