Wendy also continues to run creative sewing weekends.
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.
