Product Description
Product Description
This title offers many techniques for creating clothes to be proud of; where seams do not pucker, hems are invisible, fastenings do not gape and facings do not show. Intended for needleworkers of all levels, it contains detailed, step-by-step instructions for the essential aspects of sewing, from choice of materials to inserting zips, pockets and sleeves. It provides fundamental information on the ease, bias and turn of the cloth; looks at seam allowances and fabric preparation; and examines potential areas of difficulty. The reader is taught to do all of the following: make perfect and identical collar points; sew set-in sleeves by machine; sew double or single welt pockets; make silk buttonholes; and finish edges with narrow bias binding.

Basics for home sewers, 11 Oct 2000
By Library Mom "Bethany" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beyond the Pattern: Great Sewing Techniques for Clothing (Threads) (Paperback)
This book has some great basic instructions for people who make clothes at home. I think it covered the most used areas like zipper insertion, buttonholes and bias cuts. It has good visual aids. I wish that it had covered more of the fine points not just the highlights which is why I only gave it 4 stars.

A must for any sewing library, 16 Sep 2009
By The Sewing Fanatic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beyond the Pattern: Great Sewing Techniques for Clothing (Threads) (Paperback)
I'm an experienced sewer, but I learned several things from reading this book. Things like how to find the grain on knits and how to replace a zipper are just two chapters I found helpful. This book is a compilation of articles from Threads magazine, a publication I highly recommend. It was published in the 90's, so some of the chapters are dated, but they don't detract from the usefulness of the book. Most of the information in the book is timeless. Taunton published a number of books that are compilation of Threads articles, but I buy one whenever I see one. I'd recommend this book for any sewer's library.
