Sewing Machine Secrets by Nicole Vasbinder
Knowing which machine is right for you is a great first step to learning how to sew, but knowing how to use that machine inside-out is crucial in order to get the best out of it. Sewing Machine Secrets is an indispensable resource for sewers at all levels, showing the reader how to choose, use and maintain their sewing machine, mastering sewing techniques and learning handy tips along the way. From sewing a simple hem or seam, to appliqué, quilting, and sewing on tricky fabrics, not only can you make a sewing machine do everything it’s supposed to, but you can also – where relevant – learn how to `fool’ it into techniques that most people think only high-end machines can achieve. So, without being brand specific, this book discusses the functionality of each machine type and its accessories, esplaining what you should look out for when choosing a machine, how to care for your machine and also how each feature and foot can be used and manipulated to help you better your sewing skills, providing handy tricks and secrets along the way.
