Abstract/Notes Review
Subtitled "The Indispensable Illustrated Guide to Sewing and Fabric Terminology," this book is where a new or returning sewer can turn to figure out the lingo. The seven chapters cover tools, needle terms, machine terms, stitch terms, fabric terms, pattern and garment terms, and techniques and processes. The book has a slightly retro feel - making it perfect for the vintage-loving modern seamstress. (American Sewing Guild Notions, Summer 2015)

This illustrated guide to sewing and fabric terminology is perfect for those just starting sewing, or as a reference for the seasoned seamstress. With definitions and uses for over 300 sewing items, this handy book will never gather dust on your shelf. (Sew News Magazine, June/July 2015)

Avoid feeling overwhelmed anytime you encounter unfamiliar sewing terminology with this handy guide to even the most complicated of sewing speak. (Burda Style Magazine, February 2015)

I looked up "Stay Stitching." I have been trying to figure that one out for a while! The explanation in the book was great…the author actually told me why one uses "Stay Stitching." Can't wait to read more. Funny how one can make quilts for years…but when it comes to garment sewing sometimes nothing makes sense. (The Applique Society Newsletter, 12/9/14)
