After teaching sewing for years Stephnie noticed all her beginning
sewing students labored with the same tendencies. She found these
tendencies were discouraging the desire to continue sewing. What a
sad affair to crush a persons creativity: not to mention denying
the pure enjoyment garnered from taking sewing classes. Therefore,
she felt compelled to list the tendencies: about 30. Actually this
was just the beginning of the list. After identifying the Tendency,
Stephnie wrote out a description of what was happening with each
tendency calling it: The Problem. The evolution continued with
answers and solutions, calling them: To Clarify. Wow Today the
number is more like 90 something. Example: many times her students
had trouble taking the fabric (with the finished seam) out from
under the foot. Stephnie would causally place her hand in front of
the sewing machine needle and ask, "Where is your take-up lever?"
When the student realized the take-up lever was hiding, Stephnie's
next remark was: "Turn the hand wheel like a Waterfall until the
take-up lever is at its highest point. Now you can retrieve your
fabric." Stephnie provided photos and drawings on the page facing
each tendency. This will help you, the reader, understand the text
better. The book is mostly about operating and maintaining the
sewing and serging machine. However: reading patterns, a harrowing
encounter; sewing over pins, not good, and wash your stash, what
ever that means. Plus, a virtual plethora of sewing mysteries are
unveiled as the author leads you through her tried and true
techniques of sewing, cutting and general handling of fabrics,
sewing machines, hand sewing (yes you need to do hand sewing),
posture is embraced (it is important), etcetera. Stephnie is
trained in tailoring, drapery making, costume creating, stuffed toy
making, quilting, and pattern alteration through Nancy Zieman's
Fitting Finesse. So much fabric: so little time. Study the book,
take it with you to a sewing class and have fun
