Book Reviews of The Sewing Machine Guide: Tips on Choosing, Buying, and Refurbishing
Book Review: Don't Bother!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't need a book that only talks about how to justify your sewing machine purchase - and wastes numerous pages with ways to know whether you should or should not "splurge" when you visit your local sewing machine store.
I was hoping this book would get into discussing the different features of various manufacturers - and the pros and cons of different machine types, but this info was sorely lacking.
If you're looking for a home, computer machine and need someone to hold your hand before you feel okay to buy one, then you'll love this book.
Summary of The Sewing Machine Guide: Tips on Choosing, Buying, and Refurbishing
Anyone who has ever shopped for a sewing machine knows that it can be as difficult as buying a used car and just as expensive. Now you can go into the process knowing what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to get the best deal possible. More than a buying guide, this book will help you figure out what those new computerized machines can do for you, whether you need a new machine at all, and how to get the most out of your machine, no matter what its vintage. You will learn how to analyze your sewing personality so you can find the machine that suits you; update your old model to give it modern features; clean the machine yourself; test-drive a sewing machine, either new or used; negotiate for the best price possible; organize your sewing space to suit your needs; and make your own sewing and cutting table, and more.Fashion Books
