Great for beginners, not for the advanced

I'll admit, I feared the sewing machine. It made me nervous. I couldn't understand (and still don't, really) how it worked, and so couldn't visualize myself doing anything effectively. This book, although it only contains a few patterns, was a great starter. It includes patterns, extremely clear directions, great tips on using your machine, and I was able to complete my first-ever project in just a couple of hours, including a set-in fringe (not so easy your first time out!). If you're an advanced sewer, this book will probably not be terribly exciting for you.

T.A

I love to sew and i teach and this book is great for a beinger who wants to sew and start sewing right away the instructions are easy and i love it i couldnt get the book at hsn because it sold out and i found it here for a better price thanks must buy !! for home projects its for any crafter who needs some easy and fun ideas thanks

Thanks Darlene!

Ordered this book the first day available. Well written, lots of great pictures, very easy to follow and understand - like Darlene's presentations on HSN. This is pretty basic stuff but since Darlene could sell me sand by the truckload (insofar as sewing) in the middle of the Sahara, well, 'nuff said. Cannot wait until she gets a DVD ready for sale. I just always wonder why, as personable, friendly, helpful, and knowledgable as she is, she stays with this terrible line of products (Euro-Pro) when she could easily speak for any of the top of the line machine companies. Just as good as I hoped for, but be advised - pretty basic stuff. As always, thanks Darlene, and keep those tips coming!
