Designed as a supportive companion for beginners and anyone wanting clearer guidance, this manual sets out the essentials of using a sewing machine with friendly instruction and expert tips.

Alongside the guidance, 12 projects provide structured practice, with makes including a patchwork placemat, drawstring bag, appliquéd pillow, clutch bag, tablet cover, tab top curtains, quilted pot holder and notebook cover. Techniques introduced across the projects include sewing seams, adding buttonholes and zips, blind hems, quilting, free-motion embroidery, using an alphabet, and creating pleats, trims and pockets, supported by a glossary and a trouble-shooting guide. Suitable for readers new to machine sewing.
