Book Review + Giveaway: The Sewing Answer Book

How do I attach a patch pocket? Which hem finishes are best for knit fabrics? Find the answers to these questions and a whole lot more in The Sewing Answer Book by Barbara Weiland Talbert. For a compact portable (It’s so cute!), you will be amazed at how much sewing information is in it. It’s literally a book you can have next to your sewing machine to look up any sort of question you may have in regards to your sewing project. The book is broken up into chapters such as Stitching Basics, Working with Patterns, Shaping to Fit, etc. I like the Needles and Thread chapter which covers in great detail how to choose the right needle for your project and gives the useful tip to start each sewing project with a new needle. I also found out some of the reasons why my needle thread or bobbin thread break during sewing. Most sewing books only graze the surface on this topic. The Sewing Answer Book also features plenty of handy charts and illustrations to help better explain what to do while you sew and how to solve your sewing problems.
