    • Sewing Machine Accessory Bible
I purchased this book the other day and am very pleased that I did. It is certainly a book to keep near your sewing machine, especially if you have a Janome sewing machine. Most of the illustrations feature Janome presser feet which is a rarity to see in sewing books. Other brands of machine feet are also shown so you don't have to be afraid that the book won't be of help to you. This book is very well set up with Chapter 1 on sewing essentials including anatomy of a sewing machine and the different notions and gadgets now available to help you achieve sewing success. Chapter 2 presents Basic feet with pictures of each foot being discussed, ideas for at least 6 sewing techniques that the foot can do and step by step instructions on the basic use of the foot. Each different foot section is 2-3 pages long in full color with pictures that are large enough to follow techniques. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 are set up the same way only they deal with Specialty fabric and technique feet, Pretty edges and Fancy Stitching. The last chapter of the book is a buying guide for machines. Chapters 2-5 are the meat of the book and show many excellent ways to achieve different looks. If you don't have one type foot, you might find that you do have one that can mimic the same thing. You also might find that you will see feet that you want to put on your wish list or go buy immediately, as they will solve a particular sewing difficulty that you might have. I know I saw several feet that are on my wish list and seeing what they do and how they work helps me to know if they is something I really want. Some presser feet can be pricey so you want to be sure they are what you need to purchase. I have many sewing books and this one is the best for discussion of sewing feet attachments. This book is a keeper. For logical set up, great pictures, and thoroughness, this book gets five stars from me. ... show more

    • Truly, a Sewing Machine Bible!
Well, where do I begin... First, let me start off by introducing myself as a novice in the world of sewing. I am however, somewhat familiar with operating a sewing machine. I did grow up with two generations of women who knew how to skillfuly work a sewing machine, and my grandmother mastered her's quite impressively... and I loved to observe! I have owned my own machine since I was 20, however the amount of time spent sewing with that machine, probably less than 20 hours! Now that I am 40 "something" with an inherited amount of patience and time, I have sparked an interest in sewing again. You Tube videos, I must say, are great when it comes to sewing tutorials. But, I mostly needed a guide, or reference to refer to when it came down to understanding the features of my machine, and how they could work for me relating to a particular project. Or, something that I could refer to which details and explains the various types of fabric, needles and thread used with a machine. And all those feet! How, when and for what purposes when using them all? Buttons and zippers, and all those fancy techniques! Well let me tell you... This book is called the 'Sewing Machine Accessory Bible' for a reason! A definite must-have for anyone who sews, beginner or advanced. This is a beautifully illustrated and detailed book of reference. As far as I can tell, this book pretty much covers it all, and clearly. As far as covering basic feet and specialty feet of the machine, it not only discusses the typical use for that particular foot, but also details other stitches or tasks that can be performed using that foot. This book covers so much! From getting acquainted with the anatomy of your machine, to essential must-have tools, thread types, needle & Fabric directory, zippers, buttons, hemming, beading, appliqué, piping, darning/embroidery, quilting, and many, many other specialty foot procedures. Offers a buyers guide covering basic to high-end machines, to specialty machines. Covers sergers briefly. Even includes a trouble shooting section. This book is truly impressive! A much appreciated sewing machine asset tool! ... show more

    • OK but not the best photos
OK and useful but not spectacular. For example, I would have used two different colors of fabric and a contrasting thread in illustrations of seams.
