Summary: Great book for beginners...
Comment: This book is great for beginners. It's not meant for folks with a lot of sewing experience - although it does have helpful suggestions that could probably save time even for those who do have skills already. It explains basic vocabulary re: fabrics, stitches, & sewing tools. It also has a section on patterns. Then each chapter is like a recipe, walking you through a simple project start to finish (i.e., a vest, jacket, skirts & other simple clothes, several types of pillows (flange, knife-edged, zippered, bow-tied), placemats & napkins, tablecloths, a baby blanket & diaper bag, curtains, & more). I had no experience other than a home ec class 25 yrs ago and using this book, I've made at least 10 of the projects, and am feeling more confident with each one. I highly recommend this book - I have 3 or 4 others supposedly for beginners, and keep going back to this one - it's the easiest to follow & I always end up with good results.

Summary: Skimpy on machine use
Comment: This book give a lot of guidelines, but is not specific in such areas as which needles are which, how the machine is used (such as for sewing a straight seam) and such items as various thread types. I was disappointed with the lack of such detail for a absolute novice. Still, the book does cover ways to produce a better result, and gives a number of good precautions (such as not sewing over pins).

Summary: There are less experienced people and there are beginners
Comment: Some beginners, I guess, were born understanding that you sew on a sewing machine with two sources of thread, not just one. They know about bobbins and thread tension and fabrics. They even know what ribbing is.
I guess I am an underprivileged beginner. I needed a book like this so that I could understand my sewing machine's user manual and Simplicity's "Simply the Best Sewing Book".
