My First Machine Sewing Book: Straight Stitching (My First Sewing Book Kit series)

PERFECT BOOK FOR BEGINNER (2010-07-05) : 5/5
I purchased this book for my 7 year old daughter along with her first sewing machine for her birthday (a Janome Hello Kitty, love the machine too, daughter was thrilled). The book has 40 pages and comes with several practice papers(sewing straight, curves, angles, etc, and heart and star shapes for practice without thread). Also comes with four 8x8 pieces of fabric to make a star pillow (2 of one fabric, 2 of another) for the first project. This book is very basic which is great for a beginner. I am very happy with the purchase and my daughter is too.
Darling Book (2010-03-04) : 5/5
I bought this book for my granddaughter, who I am teaching to sew. It is very sweet, and helped her get started.
In my 30's and this book helps! (2010-02-24) : 5/5
I unearthed my mothers sewing machine and apart from hazy childhood memories I have no idea how to use this thing. I checked some books out at the library but they never mentioned how to actually use the machine. (I do know what a tailor's ham is however.)

I figure we needed to start at the basics so I bought this. It's written for children and although the language is a bit cutesy, without it I don't think I would have learned as much as I have. With it's practice sheets and easy to understand language it should be part of every beginners bookshelf.
MY FIRST SEWING MACHINE BOOK (2009-12-08) : 2/5
THIS BOOK IS FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. NOT FOR OLDER CHILDREN. I WAS DISSAPPOINTED WHEN I RECEIVED THIS BOOK FOR MY YOUNG ADULT DAUGHTER. THIS BOOK WAS INTENDED FOR LITTLE GIRLS. THAT SURE BE MADE CLEARER.
Great for sewers of all ages (2009-08-19) : 5/5
My First Machine Sewing Book is an excelent book for all ages. Too many books take it for granted that the reader has prior knowledge of the subject. I bought this book for my eight year old grand daughter. However, I will have to buy her another copy as her grandfather found the book and patterns easy to understand and has been enjoying learning to sew. I recommend it's sister publication "My First Sewing Book." The two books take any beginning sewer step by step into the world of sewing. sincerely R. Wallach
