See for yourself how new attachments and modern machines create interesting and decorative effects with almost push-button simplicity.

For the beginner or the past master, this book covers every problem from mending to remodeling, from hand stitching to the most modern machines. Step-by-step instructions, illustrated with hundreds of helpful pictures, guarantee such excellent styling and highly finished effects that you will be amazed at the result of even your first effort.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
