The instructions are easy to follow, clear and the diagrams are simple. Complete and thorough lessons, from the basics of the sewing machine, proper operation of the sewing machine, how to thread the machine, stitching, and basic sewing techniques.

This guide will give a beginning seamstress the basic nuts and bolts of sewing on a machine. There are many crossword puzzles, dot to dots, vocabulary exercises, word finds even a few sewing jokes on some pages, all geared at learning the basics of sewing and its terminology.

This book has reinforced many of the basic sewing machine basic skills we are currently working on in our family. The puzzles were a big hit.
