A basic guide for the beginner level. Clearly conveyed information, copious nice photos to instruct. I didn't read every word, but one doesn't in books like this.

Here's a random example: "A rouleau is like piping cord, but without the flange to attach it to a garment. The excess fabric is actually turned inside the casing and creates the cord from itself. Because of the way a rouleau is made, it really only works with lightweight, closely woven fabrics such as silk charmeuse, cotton poplin, or lawn."

This answered one question: (Are rouleau and piping interchangeable? ) But creates another: she mentions poplin, but doesn't define it, either here or elsewhere. So it's not perfect. But it would be a fine reference. She covers lots of topics, including tips for the construction of more tricky areas like collars and cuffs.

This is an excellent how to guide for the novice sewer, with a lot of illustrations and detailed explanation of sewing and what you will need, plus what you might want in order to be successful and productive when sewing. I am actually going to see if I can purchase a copy of this book from Amazon - or perhaps another source to keep at home to refer back to. That way I won't have to check it out from the local library repeatedly to refresh my memory.
