Summary: 1 Stars
The problem is that the book is ALMOST helpful. It seems to be giving simple instructions. But when I try to learn anything (and I am a mechanically-inclined non-dummy) I find there is just not quite enough to get from one step to the next. I frequently found myself spending an entire hour poring over 2 pages, trying to visualize what it is saying, and failing. It would have been so easy to add an additional step, or make clear whether the right side or the wrong side is showing in the drawing, or a simple photograph of a finished product, and it just doesn't.
The best I can say for it is that it gave me enough information on any particular topic to look it up on the internet and get useful help.
Book Review: simple book
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
this book really breaks it down in the simplest form possible. it's hard to learn how to sew by just reading a book without any hands on experience, but this helps you visualize, and it is written in plain english. if you haven't sewn in your life, or never picked up a needle and thread,this book is definitely for you.
