The Sewing Machine Accessory Bible Reviews

If like me, you love sewing but feel you're not quite getting the best from your sewing machine, then this book is for you.

The perfect 'teach and show' guide that covers zips, and stitching techniques that are a necessary and sometimes daunting part of our sewing know how.

What I absolute love about this book, is that it is an complete and in depth compendium of sewing machine feet. I have a ton of them, in a box, in a drawer!!! I often look at them and wonder what they do.... well now I know. And what's more I am no longer afraid to use them.

Wendy Gardiner and Lorna Knight demonstrate how to use these feet, what fabrics are perfect and what thread to use. They take away the panic and give the sewist a new found confidence. The words are simple, the demonstrations easy to follow and the information is massive.

From choosing your machine, to threads to tools to fabric to needles.. nothing is left out. This book is superb for beginners, but can also be a ideal reminder for seasoned sewists.

It is faultless.
