I bought this book for my daughters and I ended up using it more than they. Whether you are a beginner or experienced in this craft, you'll find this very useful. This is a great little reference book with step-by-step guidance in all your basic sewing needs.
It's a really good guide for beginners. :) The book is spiral-binded, which makes it easy to use when you work from it. But don't care about that part, you'll sew the patterns you buy, anyway. I've purchased this book as it was required for a sewing class I've taken recently. It is full of pictures and there's a glossary at the end of the book. I recommend this book for anyone who is new to sewing, this book is really helpful. The only thing is, the pictures, the models are a bit old, so they might not inspire you enough for sewing.
This was a great purchase to help me start making simple things with the sewing machine. It was a great buy. I was worried that it may not be low enough to teach me everything I needed to know, but it was, and it covers enough things to get you sewing everything from clothes to pillows to drapes.
I saw that there was a video, but it got some pretty poor reviews. I still think that they look like really bad jiggsaw puzzles and I know no more than I did when I started. I really expected this book to break down the process of reading patterns, but it didnt. Oh wait, I know that I should IRON the fabric before I start working with it. My brand new machine is in the basement taking up space. THANKS.I dont know what Im going to do, I'm afraid to buy a bunch of books trying to figure out how to sew and where I live, classes are limited.
This was a gift for my daughter, which was given to her with a new sewing machine. It looks like she is learning a lot from the book and enjoys reading it.
