A must for any sewing library
I'm an experienced sewer, but I learned several things from reading this book. Things like how to find the grain on knits and how to replace a zipper are just two chapters I found helpful. This book is a compilation of articles from Threads magazine, a publication I highly recommend. It was published in the 90's, so some of the chapters are dated, but they don't detract from the usefulness of the book. Most of the information in the book is timeless. Taunton published a number of books that are compilation of Threads articles, but I buy one whenever I see one. I'd recommend this book for any sewer's library.
Good Book
I like this book. Good visuals. Covers lots of areas that can be a problem. Good to keep and re-read.
Basics for home sewers
This book has some great basic instructions for people who make clothes at home. I think it covered the most used areas like zipper insertion, buttonholes and bias cuts. It has good visual aids. I wish that it had covered more of the fine points not just the highlights which is why I only gave it 4 stars.
