Useful and detailed

This book has many sewing techniques that are useful and informative. Both beginners and advanced sewers will be able to make use of this book. The photos and text are clear and concise. If you're looking to have several sewing techniques on hand this is a great book. Anyone wanting to take their sewing projects to a higher quality level will also find this useful!

sewing reference

Very good general information. Currently using it to teach a 12-year-old to sew. Gives lots of appropriate basic information for the novice sewer. Quality illustrations.

Great for beginners

I am learning sewing and this book is a huge help. I have other books that talk about fabrics threads, machines etc but this book is all about techniques and how to. It does not have projects. But will certainly be a help with other books and their projects. This book should be in the shelf. Very helpful.
