Customer Reviews

A must for anyone interested in needlework!

This book outlines a variety of needlework techniques ranging from hand and machine sewing to lacemaking and tapestry work. It is especially valuable as a reference when repairing an old piece of needlework or lace (e.g. a vintage wedding dress). The new edition lacks some of the more complex examples found in the original (1958) edition and the sewing machine info is updated (unfortunately for owners of antique machines), but it's an invaluable addition to any crafter's library.
