If the sewing machine does it, then the technique is here! Anyone looking for advice on those indispensable basics will find a variety of ways to do bias binding, buttonholes, edge finishes, gathering, hem finishes, mitering corners, seam finishes, topstitching, and zippers. Or sewers can learn how to make any item eye-catching with an array of creative touches, including appliqué, crisscross chain stitching, eyelet embroidery, and lacework. Every technique comes complete with machine setups and guidance on fabrics, stitching, needles, threads, tension, and the presser foot.

Good Reference Source August 9, 2010

I don't own an expensive embroidery sewing machine; nor do I plan to purchase one in the near future. This book gives you techniques for accomplishing heirloom quality sewing using your regular electric sewing maching. I refer to it often.

Excellent book for a beginner which I am. I have already made my first outfit without instruction from any classes. Just read this and a few other books.

I got this book from the library and am now going to buy it. I am a beginner/intermediate sewist who likes hip, cool fashionable clothes, and this book gave me so many ideas on new techniques I can incorporate in my basic designs. With that said, I only gave it 4 stars because the project pictures show pretty traditional and outdated clothing ideas. If you can get past the old-fashioned (no offense to those who like that stuff, but I like more current and classy vintage looks--not quilting and 80's-ish dresses with lace), you will have a treasure-trove of amazing techniques like applique (seems like a million different ways!), ruching, smocking, cording, lacemaking, etc.
The instructions for each technique are clearly presented in a step-by-step manner, with pictures for each step. The layout is not crowded, but spacious so it's easy to read. Each technique is covered in 2 to 4 pages with a list of supplies and what to set your machine to on the first page.

This book has very easy and simple sewing techniques with very colorful illustrations on each page. The instructions are very easy to follow. I have the hard back edition, and I've had it for several years now.
