Fine Machine Sewing Revised Edition: Easy Ways to Get the Look of Hand Finishing and Em
Decorative hand stitchery, applique, fine finishing?all these techniques of heirloom sewing can make both handmade and purchased garments into unique expressions of individual creativity. Handwork, however, demands a large time commitment. Ahles, a frequent teacher at machine-sewing seminars and a former sewing retailer, argues that almost any fine handsewing technique can be duplicated in a fraction of the time by home sewers at any skill level using almost any home sewing machine. This book proves her point. A trouble-shooting guide, tips, and a question-and-answer section supplement detailed instructions and illustrations. A good selection for most public libraries.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
