How to Use a Sewing Machine: A Beginner's Manual Paperback – February 3, 2015

I learned to sew in junior high, but I haven't touched a sewing machine in over 30 years, so I needed a good primer on the subject. This is perfect and it includes a great illustrations.

Too advanced for a beginnerVisuals are not good would prefer photos and not sketchesWritten for a person with sewing experience but graphics and writing still make me rate this product a 3!

Overall I liked the book. It covered all of the basics at least very briefly. It covers which feet and needles to use in very good detail. A lot of space was spent on advanced machines like sergers, and embroidery machines, that could have been use to enhance detail on basic sewing machine operation and skills. None of the images were actual photos which left the knowledge a little generic. The most informative explanations were of what needles to use and which feet do what. I wish there had been more details on sewing machine parts and components and less detail on advanced machines.

Return for refund.
