Summary: Not for beginners
Comment: The book is too advanced for beginners. The book starts off assuming you know how to read and cut patterns, piece together parts, and construct clothing. It also assumes that you are very comfortable with using a sewing machine. The photographs are beautiful, but it hasn't served as a how-to manual that I had hoped. For the same retail price, you can buy at least two other better books.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Must for all Sewers
Comment: If you're new to sewing or just want a bit of a refresher, this is one book I'd recommend. This book covers everything you need to know about sewing. The New Complete Guide to Sewing gives you everything you need to know to create the wardrobe of your dreams and fill your home with original decorative accents. Clear, simple instructions throughout, written by Reader's Digest sewing experts tell you what to do and how to do it throughout. Plus, thousands of illustrations and diagrams illustrate each stage of the sewing process. Sewing will become fun and easy to do.

Summary: Good, but not the best sewing book
Comment: This book is comprehensive, but I recommend instead "The Complete Book of Sewing," by DK Publishing, August 1996. I found that many things only partly explained in this book were fully explained with better and more detailed pictures in "The Complete Book of Sewing." If I had to do it all over again I would not have purchased this book and bought instead "The Complete Book of Sewing" because "The Complete Book of Sewing" is a much better book that has pushed this book to the back of my bookshelf.
