Book Review: Very comprehensive!
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a "sewing virgin" when I bought my sewing machine. This book explained everything that I needed to know. I really love it! It is comprehensive in all the areas. It covers everything! I name it my sewing bible! I strongly recomended.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
It's been years since I have sewn and this was a great refresher course for me. Am anxious to take it to the next level.Book Review: Returning to sewing
Summary: 5 Stars
It has been a number of years since I sat down at a sewing machine. I definitely needed this extra help to get me reacquainted with using my sewing machine as well as sewing a outfit.Book Review: Great for beginners!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great reference guide for sewing. It is comprehensive enough to cover a wide variety of topics that might be confusing for novices like me. My only complaint about this book is that more pictures would be helpful to accompany some of the more complex instructions.Book Review: This book didn't work for me.
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been teaching myself to sew the last few months and in that time I've checked out all the books my library has to offer on the subject. Since I really like all the other "for Dummies" books that I have read I decided to buy this one sight-unseen to keep around the house as my reference. It's not a bad book but there are better books out there for those of us who are new to sewing or need a refresher in basics. If the book were organized differently I think I might like it more. Compared to other books of this type the information is not as well organized or easy to find. The illustrations are nice but again I've seen others that work better for me. I wouldn't say not to buy this book, but check it out first and make sure it's teaching (or refreshing what you already know) in a way that is useful to you. This book was not useful to me.
