Summary: Not such a good book
Review: I guess back in 1981 this book was a good reference, but sewing has changed. This book addresses none of this new stuff. First, there are fancy new notions now that make sewing faster and easier. Second, sergers are now in the home market. And lastly, color photos (although they existed then) are now in MOST good sewing books and readily available. This book is outdated and I am sorry I bought it. (Thank goodness used for only a few bucks. You get what you pay for.)The author's techniques are not shortcuts, but are the standard in sewing techniques. Nothing new here. The book is filled with illustrations, although most sewing techniques described do not have an accompanying drawing. Get a better book (or books) like the Easy Guide sewing series instead.

Summary: Kinda dull -- don't know why others like it!
Review: Well, she's thorough, that's for sure. Every possible sewing technique is covered here. But with only line drawings for relief, it's kinda tedious to get through. Maybe if you just wanted to look up particular techniques. Her other books are great, but this one really leaves me cold.
