Has everything you've ever wondered about....
I have lots of jewelry books. This is more of "class examples" and the like. It shows many ways to do textures, finishes, etc. and shows the finished product. It has saved me the time and expense of doing them myself. What a help!

Ready, Set, Serge: Quick And Easy Projects You Can Make in Minutes20 reviews
Georgie Melot
Krause Publications, 2009
Finally I am able to serge again!!!
I bought my serger about a year and a half ago and was happily serging along until I had to rethread. The rethreading went fine but I couldn't get the tension settings right again. Hours of fruitless work, lots of frustration, and not a single serged seam later I gave up and my serger turned into a dust collector. I gave it longing looks every time I dusted it. Then I started buying up serger ...

Charlene Phillips
Krause Publications, 2009
Being new to sewing...
I am new to sewing and teaching myself. This book was tremendously useful in helping me understand about attachments, how useful they can be and help me pick the attachments I need. I have a fairly modern Brother machine, that has some bells and whistles but not the latest & greatest computerized machine. Most of the attachments in the book are ones that are currently available and fit on my ...

Quilting The Complete Guide12 reviews
Darlene Zimmerman
Krause Publications, 2006
A must have
When I first started teaching myself to make quilts (in 2007), I purchased this as one of my first books. It's essential for any quilting newbie, but also a very valuable reference/teaching tool for anyone who is still building skills. Unless you're a quilting guru who has been sewing for MANY years, this book needs to be in your library.

Perfect problem-solver in 2010!
I got my new Husqvarna Viking Huskylock 936 a while ago, and was totally new to using sergers. I had one Norwegian book about using a serger, but real soon found that it was way too limited (most of it was description of projects), so I went on Amazon, thinking that my best bet would be to find some English language books. I am the type that really like to understand how an item works and ...

Finding what you need
I ordered this item thinking it was the paperback book that came with a dvd of the same book free like the Standard Catalog of World Coins 1900 to present I had ordered just weeks before. Even though it was not what I though I had ordered I am happy with the product and it works very well. The features are easy to understand and use and it takes up very little space how ever I find I am using a ...
