Sewing Machine Basics is the perfect book for those beginning to sew. Inside its pages are detailed descriptions and information of all the parts of a sewing machine. Jane Bolsover walks you through how to thread a bobbin, recognize the correct thread tension, and which needle choice is best for which project. But this book isn't just about machine basics, it's a complete machine sewing guide. Learn tips on the difference between fabrics and how to cut them, how to sew a hem, button hole, zippers, darts, tucks, and ruffles, and more. These instructions are great for everyone, because they're easy to follow and include pictures and diagrams of the machine parts and stitch types you should be looking for.
Once the machine specifics are mastered, the pages that follow are full of sewing ideas and tips. Learn how to make a scarf, pillow covers, curtains, aprons, skirts, and more. The projects are included at the end of every lesson to allow you to practice what you just read. After learning how to stitch pockets, sew yourself an adorable apron. Included in the back of the book are seven sewing patterns for the projects, so you can get to sewing as soon as you finish reading!
