My Review:
I have been a very basic sewer since I was about 14. Still after all these years, I'm still a very basic, beginner in this arena. I so wish I could learn more, I love it! I do not know the names of all the stitches, so this book is a very good one to have. It tells you and shows you how to achieve the over 60 stitches in sewing. This is an excellent book for the very beginner or someone that needs a refresher course in sewing. It is also very convenient to have close by as you sew.
Complete with measurements, sewing thread size, and needle size, you will be able to get to work right away. Not only is machine stitching in the book but also some hand stitching instruction has been included. She even gives you some instruction on digital machines, presser feet, different thread types, mechanical machines, and a glossary too. An all inclusive guide to stitching that all sewers need!
