Review: Great Reference Book - Definitely a great resource book for the beginner, or at least for me. I wouldn't call it the definitive instruction book, but definitely one to have in your resource library. It is excellent in outlaying fabric essentials; such as, which fabrics are easy to sew and how to handle special fabrics. This book also has information on understanding material grain, preparing fabric, laying out patterns, including plaids and stripes, tips on placement, cutting, and marking. Additionally, tons of sewing techniques are included in this book, including both hand stitching and machine-stitching techniques. The techniques include seams, shape, edges, and closures. I have found this book to be such a great and sound resource for me. My only thing about most of the books on the market is they really don't address computerized sewing machines. Maybe I am overlooking something, and I would gladly take anyone's comments, direction, or advice on which way to turn, but I just cannot seem to find any text that specifically addresses computerized sewing machines. Maybe it just doesn't matter. I suppose I am too new to sewing to see that it really doesn't matter in the long run. I use a Singer 7258, and sometimes it would just be nice to have some reference on how to fully utilize all the stitches that are available on the model. I feel like I am not using the sewing machine to its full potential. Review: Excellent book for beginning sewer! - This book is exactly what the title says it is. It is an excellent book on sewing essentials. It starts with information about the sewing machine itself and how to make good stitches. It teaches you how to recognize a correct machine stitch and how to correct the tension if your stitches are puckered or otherwise incorrectly formed. It goes on to tell you about the proper equipment you will need for sewing, including the different types of pins and needles and what each is used for, marking tools (tracing wheels, tailor's chalk, marking pencils), measuring tools (rulers, measuring tapes, and seam gauges), cutting tools (scissors, clippers, and seam rippers), pressing tools, and other special equipment. The book goes on to teach about patterns and their adjustment for proper fit and it has a helpful reference page on pattern markings. The book goes on to teach about different types of fabrics and what sewing machine needles to use for each type. It discusses interfacing, sleeves, thread types, buttons and button holes, zippers, hand stitching, darts, gathers, elastic, pleats, necklines, waistbands, collars, and hems. The pages are filled with photographs to complement each section. This is a great book for the beginning sewer and a great reference for those with some experience with these topics. 144 pages. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003ODJ33K | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #396,895 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #169 in Craft & Hobby Reference #301 in Sewing (Kindle Store) #501 in Crafts & Hobbies Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (145) | | Edition | Updated, Revised | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 49.5 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1616733759 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | November 1, 2008 | | Publisher | Creative Publishing international | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![The New Sewing Essentials (Singer) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hYL3IPY9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Reference Book *by L***A on December 8, 2014* Definitely a great resource book for the beginner, or at least for me.

I bought it thinking it was basic sewing, how to use my new singer machine, tips on various aspects of using the machine. Guess I didn't read the info very well. If you want to sew clothes, it will be a great help. Plenty of tips and color photos for making outfits; patterns, different materials, interfacing, cutting materials for outfits, shaping, and all the other stuff that goes into making something to wear. What I want to learn how to make are projects, totes, runners, pillows, quilts. How to do appliques, landscaping and paper piecing quilting. Ordered a couple of other books in that area, so hopefully they will be of help. I think I need to look online for a quilting site that has a forum, any suggestions? (half joking half serious) Anyhow, for sewing clothes it will be a great book, my granddaughter seems to be into that, she received a sewing machine for Christmas, so I will give it to her. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/112480736-the-new-sewing-essentials-singer](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/112480736-the-new-sewing-essentials-singer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
