It's been many, many years since I first learned to sew. No one has ever introduced me to a beginner's sewing machine book. I'd love to have this one to learn those little tricks that make sewing so much easier. The user manual that came with my superb machine is very sketchy with only the very basic of basics--and it misses some of those!
