Review: Decent for beginners. - I hand this book to beginning seamsters. It has detailed enough illustrations and instructions to make the process of certain seams understandable to those learning. If someone says, what is the difference between a french seam and a rolled hem, you can show them in this book and they can follow the instructions to make it happen. Review: Five Stars - Best book ever
