This is an alphabetical, step-by-step guide to the sewing machine and its uses, with a lively and enthusiastic text that will encourage anyone who sews to make the most of their machine. The book includes sections on all aspects of the sewing machine, including braids, cords, cutwork, embroidery, hems, lace, patchwork, piping, quilting and many more.
