Book Overview

The Sewing Machine Quick Guide will get you up to speed quickly on sewing machine basics. More than just a quick getting started book, complete information is presented so you will have a trusty reference guide long after you have mastered the basics. Step by step instructions show you how to use a sewing machine. Special attention is given to subjects like how to sew difficult fabrics and how to adjust the tension. Chapters on fabric, thread, stitches, needles and feet will help unlock your creativity. Most sewing books have one or two pages about sewing machines because they are about sewing projects and not about sewing machines. This is the first modern and complete book dedicated to sewing machine basics! Both vintage machines and the latest electronic machines are covered. Quilting machines and embroidery machines have their own chapters. If you are looking for an in-depth master guide to sewing machines please check out our other book "The Sewing Machine Master Guide". The Master Guide features over 100 types of home and industrial machines. The Master Guide also includes in-depth chapters on troubleshooting, adjustment and repair. For sergers check out our companion book "The Serger & Overlock Master Guide".

About Clifford L. Blodget

Cliff Blodget learned to sew as a kid repairing tents and clothing. He became interested in sewing machines and discovered that with some adjustment, lubrication and TLC almost any sewing machine could be fine-tuned to sew like a new one. He recalls "Sewing machines have always fascinated me, they have a certain elegance and nostalgia factor. My favorites are the art deco style machines from the 1930's through the 50's". Cliff has a BS degree in computer science and worked as an R&D Engineer and Technology Officer in electronics manufacturing. He never lost his interest in sewing machines. Later he became involved with sewing machines again, modifying and designing sewing equipment and processes for the production of sewn products such as cell phone cases and sportswear. He was frequently asked to recommend a good book on sergers, but could not find one that was up to date and comprehensive so he decided to write this book.
