  • Threads - Always a winner no matter whether you're new to sewing or have been doing it for decades.
Threads is the gold standard for the best sewing tips and tricks. This is a comprehensive guide that works well as a "how to" for the beginning sewer and yet has information that an advanced seamstress would find helpful. The pictures and instructions are exceptional, as they always are with Threads. I have been a subscriber since Threads came on the market in the mid-1980's and this is a great addition to that library. The Threads book and any edition of the Vogue Sewing book are pretty much all you need to really have comprehensive how to information on all aspects of fashion sewing. I would highly recommend this book - I have it in both Print and Kindle and find both versions very helpful. ... show more

  • Good reference for adult learners
Threads shares their expertise in a respectful, unassuming manner. The images are helpful. I find the the book can be read a chapter at a time, but works great as a reference. The graphics are helpful and not dated. It is encouraging to see things I might actually wear in a sewing book. Plus, my puppy thinks the cover is delicious. ... show more

  • A good reference book
I have been a DIY all my life, but as time goes buy, I forget the tips and techniques I have picked up along the way. I subscribe to Threads magazine, and while much of the info in the book is basic, there is some good info in the book. It is definitely worth the purchase.

  • Just Wonderful
This includes everything you need to know about sewing. I have been sewing for 40+years and found it to be a just wonderful. It could be used as a text book in helping younger ones to sew. It is also a great reference book. I purchase books of this sort cautiously, I don't want a room filled with basic info. That is why this is perfect for the advanced sewer. I this it was well worth the money spent and the time reading it is not wasted, you learn plenty. ... show more

  • Fantastic reference...
This is a great book for beginners or experienced sewers. It has plenty of explanation of basics but also illustrates techniques and processes that experienced sewers may find useful. For instance, I do invisible zippers all the time, but rarely bother with lapped zippers inside of a duvet cover. I found this book to be invaluable on several occasions. It goes above and beyond in explaining elements of sewing and how and when they are used. ... show more
