My Thoughts

Super Stitches Sewing by Nicole Vasbinder is an easy-to-follow how to guide for machine sewing and hand stitching. I loved the essential facts tables that provided an overview of the type of material, thread, needle, and foot needed to create the various stitches. The step-by-step illustrated instructions for each type of stitch were also helpful. Some of the stitches are basic, which makes this a great guide for beginning sewing enthusiasts. There are also great tips for people who have sewing experience  but are looking to refine their sewing projects.
