I didn't cover enough in the other review I wrote. The book also gives great project ideas in using scrap materials, weaving, and the like to adorn clothing, bedding, etc., along with detailed instructions. It really covers a lot.
Great for beginner or good refresher

I am a beginner in sewing so I found this book extremely helpful. It has a lot of nice color pictures and diagrams that show how to make different kinds of stitches, like french knots and silk ribbon roses. It also shows how to use a sewing machine to make the same stitches, if you do not sew by hand. I think that the more experienced sewing person may not find much that they haven't seen before, but again, if you are new at this like me, it is worth the $4.99 investment!
