Vogue/Butterick Step-By-Guide to Sewing Techniques
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This has been a great resource for me returning to sewing after 25 yr. hiatus. I have gone back to it over and over again the past few years to see how they explain something I'm not clear on. It may not please very experienced sewers, but as the title says,"Step-by-Step Guide to Sewing Techniques", not Couture techniques.
Good - but not great

Will certainly help the beginner, but don't expect it to get you through a pattern for a very complicated designer garment. A good reference, but it shouldn't be your only one.
Good for Beginner

Like the previous reader said, this is like a dictionary. It does help me when I am not sure how to do a certain type of stitch. However, some intructions are not much clearer than the ones that come with the patterns.This book is great for filling in the instructions that come with patterns. You may need a second source for other things though.
Very helpful!

I found this book very helpful. It is like a dictionary for sewing--every time I am not sure how to do something, I just flip through the book (it's arranged alphabetically) and look it up! There are simple illustrations to show me how.
