Description
New to the world of sewing? Let this eBook, a revised and expanded edition of a coursebook used to teach introductory classes in sewing studios, be your personal instructor.
Intro to Sewing: Bootcamp introduces you to your sewing machine, regardless of whatever machine you own. If you don’t yet own a sewing machine, you’ll learn the essential features to help inform your purchase. You’ll also learn about the essential notions (that’s sewing speak for “tools and accessories”) you’ll need to start your own personal sewing toolkit.
Inside Intro to Sewing: Bootcamp you’ll find clear, concise explanations, illustrations for essential techniques, and emphasis on key points to help you avoid beginner mistakes (we’ve all been there!). You’ll find tables and guides to help you select the proper needles, thread and stitches for your projects. At the end you’ll find practice sheets to develop your sewing skills, and a single-page, double-sided troubleshooting guide you can print to keep near your machine.
Intro to Sewing: Bootcamp is the companion you need to get your sewing machine set up and stitching.
