Keep Looking,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Basic Sewing (Paperback)
This book, although it covers a broad range of topics, does not adequately cover any of them. I teach sewing and bough this book thinking it might be good to use as a text, and was very disappointed. The pictures are hard to see, the directions vague. If I did not know what they meant already, I never would have been able to figure it out from this text. I do not recommend this book to any seamstress at any level.

This review is from: 101 Essential Tips: Basic Sewing (Paperback)
This book keeps its promise of delivering "101 essential tips". From choosing cutting tools to repairing a button hole, there are lots of tips to satisfy the beginner sewer. While I like the layout, which includes step-by-step instructions accompanied by photos, this little book could be vastly improved by adding a few more pictures to some of the tips to make them more clear. A couple of pictures could also be improved by better choice of colour (e.g. attaching a flat collar, which is a glaring yellow, and darning a hole, which is so well done you cannot see the example stitches clearly enough!). Nevertheless, overall it is a very useful book.
