Sewing Machine Magic - by Steffani Lincecum (Paperback)

This book is an amazing resource for beginning sewers, and even has some nuggets for those who have been sewing for years. Sewing machine feet are key to learning new techniques, and very few books cover the feet to the extent this author does. Not only are they shown in use, in large color photos throughout the book , they are also shown in a lineup with all the various manufacturer’s versions for each style of foot! I loved that. The first part of the book has a very thorough breakdown of things like bobbins, needles, and thread tension which all affect your sewing. The second part features examples of each style machine foot and gives clear instructions for a making a project using each foot. Most machines sold today have only a fraction of these feet included, and that is a shame. This book will make you want to go find more to play with! Kudos to this author for highlighting some of the more obscure ones to remind us of the fun things you can do with a sewing machine and some spare time. Highly recommended
