As far as I am concerned, "Place & Stitch Embroidery" paid for itself after the first project I used it on!
The spiral bound book contains a multitude of shapes and sizes. The neat thing is that although a particular shape is say for a blouse, it is not limited to a blouse. I have used this for winter knit skull caps with a cuff band. Perfect placement every time. I have used on corners of baby blankets and quilts. Pefectly centers when using "catty-corner". Perfefct placement on men's handkerchiefs.
I find myself using this on 99% of my projects. The instructions are easy to follow and the outline appears on your machine screen for easy editing.
Would I personally recommend? Oh yeah.
