This review is from: Singer New Sewing Essentials: Updated and Revised Edition (Paperback)
From the cover this book doesn't look like it's going to be impressive, but inside it's a wealth of information. Easy to use with excellent photos of each step and clear instructions, it covers everything you need to know to teach yourself to sew, including pattern usage, basic pattern adjustment, types of closures, etc. Definitely a keeper!

I like this book because of its great pictures and detail, however, I have found that I need more! It is certainly a great starter book, and something to keep by the table because of its easy to read design. I like the detailed pictures of the hems and sewing methods but I would like a bit more, about foot attachments and how to sew different hems with different feet and other useful shortcuts!

This review is from: Singer New Sewing Essentials: Updated and Revised Edition (Paperback)
I LOVE my ole Singer products.... well, i loved their products when they were made in the USA & were the Singer Company.
Singer is now just a cheap 'budget brand' under the SVP company, that is mainly sold at discount retailers.... pretty much gone are their HIGH end quality machines, with classic trademark Singer features. Gone is the Singer shop & service.... bring in the DISPOSABLE machines made in China, that will last 2 to 5 years! This book is a COLLECTION / COMPILATION of sewing techniques that were mainly photographed in the 80's & 90's, that were part of the Singer Sewing Library series. They added a few new photos to show what a NEW Singer machine looks like- think 'cheap white plastic'. The majority of the pics are recycled- the machines used in the pics are mostly their old high-end machines, with slant needles, & wind in place bobbins. It is overall a VERY nice book.... & yes i will recommend it! However, if you really know your Singer machines, you will see there is very little new in this book.... unless you count that scary cheap plastic Singer in the first few pages! It is really SAD to see what has happened to one of the great American companies.
