I'm the someone. I bought Stumpwork Embroidery Designs & Projects last year without checking it out first, and the first thing I saw was that it assumes one has the first book. So I still don't know how to do stumpwork. Thank you!

If you already have the second book I think I'd get the first one seperately rather than having to handle a 400pg. book while trying to learn a new technique! Although I did think $39.95 was a good price for the combined book as I payed $35 each for them seperately.
