Creative Publishing Book, Assorted

All color with clear and concise directions. Very useful as i haven’t touched a sewing machine since HomeEc some 55 years ago…it all comes back, just a bit more slowly.

I figured sewing was a skill I should probably learn, and just purchased my first sewing machine. I bought several books to go along with my machine, as I wasn't sure where to begin. I paged through most of them and grew intimidated by the sometimes undefined words, or instructions without enough images for me to grasp what needed to be done. This was the one book out of the four I purchased that I read from cover to cover immediately. This book is perfect for people like me, who have never sewn a stitch, or been around someone who has. I felt intimidated after unboxing my machine, but this book made me feel confident enough to begin my first project.In short, if you've never done a thing with sewing before and want to learn, this is the book you should start with. The images are clear, the directions are precise, and it goes into enough detail that I felt like I could progress without feeling frustrated.

I love this book because of the colourful illustrations . It's very helpful.

So far so good! I finally got this 'returned to me' as my package was not delivered to me. The book and a few others I had in my order are in excellent condition given the situation. A few pages were bent and marked with dirt, but I am SURE it was not the way it was shipped to me. This book is very informative! I had gotten this one for my daughter, but I will keep this one and give her mine :) Everyone out there wishes at one point to have their mom's sewing / cooking books / patterns with the annotations their mom made :).

Purchased for my daughter in law who is a beginner sewer.

I'm glad I found this book and wasn't let down by all of the other positive reviews. This book is Absolutely TOP NOTCH!! On-and-off over the past several years, I've seen other books and watched numerous videos than claimed to be for beginners but, oftentimes they'd start out fine but, would eventually end up using terms, techniques, and equipment that were just assumed to be familiar. But, this book REALLY goes back to the Basics for TRUE "beginners" who have absolutely no experience nor exposure to sewing. And, then it gives a few very simple projects to use with the information already shared in the book. The authors, photographers, editors, and publishers... basically anyone who had anything to do with this book's existence... they all deserve free lifetime supplies for all of their sewing projects!!

This book is best for those who have at least some understanding of how a sewing machine works. As someone who had never touched a sewing machine in their life, this book did not clearly explain how to wind the bobbin, load it, and then thread the machine. I had to watch many YouTube videos before I understood the steps of “setting up” your sewing machine (and yes, I did read the owners manual as well). Other than that, this book seems good at describing different types of seams and fabrics, and will help teach you how to actually sew a seam by learning. Would recommend this book to someone who knows how to work their sewing machine but needs to improve upon their sewing abilities.

When I came home, on a rainy day, I spied a package on the not-covered doorstep. Oh no, I thought, that's my book and it's going to be soaked. However, it was fine, very well packaged. Thank you!

Looks really good

Good book to have as a reference for looking things up when needed

As a newbie to sewing this book helps out step by step. I will most likely use this book together with the help of others when it comes to using a sewing machine.

Como muitos termos da costura são específicos, eu precisei de um dicionário ao meu lado para entender tudo. Mas é um livro bem explicadinho sobre costura.
