Whether sewing clothes from published patterns, designing your own sewing projects, or executing simple repairs, The Home Sewer's Guide to Practical Stitches is the most comprehensive and ready reference consolidating all the most useful and practical information sewers need to choose and use every kind of sewing stitch.
