A multitude of books are available on sewing basics and quilting. As primarily a garment seamstress, I'm usually far more interested in creating original, high-quality clothes that don't have that "homemade" look to them. This book has some great tips. Some are too time-consuming for me, but I still learned some useful things.
A worthwhile addition to a reference library. Worth owning for me, if only for the detailed instructions on how to draft a tulip sleeve.
Chock full of useful tips for the more advanced sewist.
