Customer Reviews:
Previous Editions are far superior to latest 2002 edition
By C. Michelussi - January 17, 2003I borrowed the 1995 edition of this book from the library, and ordered it hoping the latest 2002 edition would resemble the impressive volume of instructions and references that appeared the the earlier versions. I was very disappointed in the 2002 edition. There are 384 pages in the 2002 edition and 431 pages in the 1995 edition. In another library, the pre-1995 editions are even better with 500+ pages. They include everything you'd want to know about sewing. Unfortunately each newer edition is becoming smaller with less reference material. The section on sewing for the home such as draperies, shades, bedcovers has been replaced by a project on how to sew one type of curtain. The section on sewing for Men and Children is replaced by instructions on how to sew a shirt for a boy, and one skirt for a girl. They give details on doing different patterns instead of a reference section for Men and Children's clothing, sewing techniques. The same applied for sewing for the home. If I was... read more
in response to a previous review
By kanha - July 27, 2006"The book starts off assuming you know how to read and cut patterns, piece together parts, and construct clothing." I just wanted to say that the book does explain how to read and interpret patterns. In fact there are about 8 really good pages dedicated to reading patterns. I really hated how every pattern I bought wouldn't give an explanation of all the symbols they used. I didn't understand the symbols and some of the steps used in patterns until I got this book.
However the previous reveiwer was right about the book not explaining how to use a sewing machine, so I woudln't recommend getting this book if that's what you're after. If you've played with your sewing machine a bit and have figured out how to reasonably use it, then go for it.
Reasons to get the book:
-Great detailed images to follow
-shows how to properly fit a pattern and ways to fix common fitting problems
-index of stitches and how they're used
-has examples of how to sew specific... read more
Great reference and good for a beginner
By J~ - March 23, 2011About a year ago I decided to buy a pattern at Joann's and teach myself how to read it and sew with a reference sewing book. I bought a doggie sundress pattern b/c it looked easy. Then I spent the afternoon hand sewing the sundress w/ my book to guide me. The outfit turned out great so I decided to splurge and bought a digital sewing machine (Baby Lock-Grace). The book I used to understand pattern designs and simple techniques was, http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Book-Sewing-step---step/dp/0789404192/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1300888269&sr=8-4, which I found at our local library. Had it not been out of print, I would have added it to my collection.
The library also carried the outdated Readers Digest Complete Guide to Sewing book. It still provided great information, like the above book, but the outfits were way out of date. I wanted an inexpensive and up to date reference book for sewing and in November I found the newer Readers Digest edition on Amazon. I decided to add it... read more
