The sewing machine classroom Learning the ins and outs of your machine

Phillips (The Sewing Machine Attachment Handbook) presents an overview of sewing basics. This information is similar to that found in other books in the genre; however, the extensive troubleshooting information, which covers everything from stitch problems to sewing machine issues, is extremely helpful, especially for beginners. Phillips's guide doesn't focus on a specific brand of sewing machine, so the information is relevant to a wider audience than those served by many of the available branded sewing guides. VERDICT Beginners will find plenty of useful information here, and sewers of all levels who need a refresher on a specific technique or assistance working through a problem with their machine may also appreciate Phillips's expert guidance.
