I had never used any Anita Goodesign designs and was familiar with them by name only. But if you've never used them give them a try. Their directions for their projects are some of the best I've seen. I was really impressed by how easy the directions were to follow. They show each step and tell you what to do and when. One thing I really liked was they stitch an outline on the stabilizer of where the design will go. It makes it easy to see if you need to change something. I really like the way they did their projects. We did a zipper pouch, a printed fabric block, trapunto block, towel end, folded fabric block, embroidered paper card and confetti block in the workshop.
