skills, providing handy tricks and
secrets
along the way. Whether you're just starting out with
your

sewing
machine
or have been
sewing
for a while and want to build on
your
skills, this book gives you practical advice and tips to help extend the life of
your
sewing

machines; providing an overview of each type and identifying what each

Section two uses a more technique based approach, identifying the most versatile and commonly used feet, then providing step-by-step techniques for all the results you can achieve with these, along with tried and tested tricks for getting the most out of the
machine
, including uses you may not have known about"--From publisher.
