I found the author's information to be mostly common-sense, and not very unique. She spent 50 pages on sewing technique, which, according to the title, was not the purpose of the book. What I thought was going to be an interesting section on what to take to sewing classes was disappointing, as you would need a moving van to take everything the author suggested. Overall, I would say it was not good use of my money or my reading time, and I would (conditionally) recommend it only to very inexperienced sewing "students."

There are very few useful tidbits of information in this book. The ideas presented weren't particularly creative or inspiring. You'd be much better served with a copy of "Dream Sewing Spaces" by Lynnette Ranney Black.

Full of valuable information on sewing room design and layout, ergonomics, and project organization. Lots of helpful hints. I found it very useful.

The only decent photo was given in the description of the book. It was really an advertisement for Nancy's Notions. Never did say where one could get the equipment for builder sewing area, only notions. Waste of money

This book is a masterpiece, even though it is written in a style that's a bit arcane. Giesbrecht really knows her business. She even teaches a course on this subject at QuiltUniversity.com!

I am a beginning quilter and liked the "basic" information Myrna gave in this book. It is helping me sort through the piles of debris I have already accumulated. I can use all the help I can get.

Product received and in good condition. Not a lot of colored pictures of room layouts, but good information for designing your space to sew.
