Threads - Always a winner no matter whether you're new to sewing or have been doing it for decades.
Format: Kindle
Threads is the gold standard for the best sewing tips and tricks. This is a comprehensive guide that works well as a "how to" for the beginning sewer and yet has information that an advanced seamstress would find helpful. The pictures and instructions are exceptional, as they always are with Threads. I have been a subscriber since Threads came on the market in the mid-1980's and this is a great addition to that library. The Threads book and any edition of the Vogue Sewing book are pretty much all you need to really have comprehensive how to information on all aspects of fashion sewing. I would highly recommend this book - I have it in both Print and Kindle and find both versions very helpful.

Just Wonderful
Format: Hardcover
This includes everything you need to know about sewing. I have been sewing for 40+years and found it to be a just wonderful. It could be used as a text book in helping younger ones to sew. It is also a great reference book. I purchase books of this sort cautiously, I don't want a room filled with basic info. That is why this is perfect for the advanced sewer. I this it was well worth the money spent and the time reading it is not wasted, you learn plenty.

An Absolutely Necessary Resource!
Format: Hardcover
I guess I've been sewing for about 50 years. You name it, I've sewn it. But besides receiving Threads in the mail for years now, when I'm sewing and I want to look something up quickly, I wanted a new resource since the last one I bought is about 35 years old and there are new materials and invisible zippers now. Well, this book has everything from cleaning your machine to fabric to matching plaid and what needle to use. It even has pictures for putting in an invisible zipper, something I just cannot master. So buy yourself a treat if you sew, and order this book. I've been reading it chapter by chapter in the evenings and it just landed on my bookcase in my sewing room.

Worth It
Format: Hardcover
This book is billed as a complete reference. That's a little ambitious and, unfortunately, untrue for this book. Comprehensive? Yes. Complete? No. The title of "complete" goes to The New Complete Guide to Sewing: Step-by-Step Techniquest for Making Clothes and Home AccessoriesUpdated Edition with All-New Projects and Simplicity Patterns (Reader's Digest), The Complete Book of Sewing New Edition and Vogue Sewing, Revised and Updated. In comparison to the first two books, where this book excels are the Sewing Machine & Sergers chapter and Essential Tools & Supplies. That information is about the same as the Vogue book, but I prefer this book's photos to the drawings in the Voge book. The same goes for The Closures and Trim & Embellishments chapters. The info is presented in a very easy-to-understand manner. The layout is clean and modern. The photos are beautiful. I like these better than those in the magazine. Chapters I Love Darts -- Info on balancing darts that I haven't seen in other sewing books. (It is on one of the Threads' Industry Insider DVDs) Godets Serger Sewing Serger Stitches Tailoring Shoulder Pads Fundamentals of Couture Sewing (for the true beginner) Section XIV: Sewing Specialty Fabrics Common Quick Fixes (mending & repair) Disappointments Princess Seams -- there's no mention of how to sew these Clipping & Notching -- there's a new method covered in one of the Industry Insider DVD's that's not included here Easing Sleeves -- Nancy Zieman and I think Sandra Betzina use finger easing, which isn't presented here Pattern Alterations -- as far as general sewing books go, Vogue Sewing, Revised and Updated is way better I guess this is a beginner/intermediate book. I would not choose it over the titles I mentioned earlier, but I think it supplements those nicely.

I love this book
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for myself at first. I love all of the detail and expertise put into the book. I then bought 10 more for the girls that I am teaching to sew in 4-H. This is a great book that they will use for the rest of their lives. This is a must have for all that sew!
