Chilton Book Company, 1995. Fine UNREAD Cover bright, negligible wear Pages clean bright white tight Beautiful copy 4to <br></br>From Library Journal: In recent years, Chilton has published a notable library of sewing-related titles, most of which take a practical, project-oriented approach to teaching techniques for mastering the sewing machine or serger. These two titles continue in that tradition. Baker's (Know Your Serger, Chilton, 1992) thoughtfully organized troubleshooting manual will encourage serger owners to take that unused serger out of the closet where it has been languishing since the last time they tried to thread it. The authors break down serger problems into logical units such as stitch-related problems, needle-related problems, seam-and-edge problems, etc. They also provide large full-color illustrations that take the reader step by step through each solution. A good index, information on what to look for when purchasing a new serger, and a chapter of brand-specific serging tips rounds out this essential purchase for public libraries. A well-known designer, teacher, and author, Boyce emphasizes using the serger in combination with a sewing machine to create one-of-a-kind garments. She writes for the experienced sewer who is comfortable selecting and constructing a garment from a commercial pattern and using decorative serger and sewing machine techniques to individualize and embellish it. A wealth of practical techniques is made even more interesting by Boyce's description of her thought processes in designing each of the ten garments featured. Generally recommended for creative sewing collections. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. . First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine.

Kwik-Sew Pattern Co, Inc. , 1987. Cover bright, very minor wear, lt rubs on back PAges clean bright tight Very nice! Master Pattern Included <br></br>Book Description: Appliqué The KWIK-SEW Way includes over 160 designs to appliqué on women's, men's and children's garments as well as designs for home decorating. There are simple designs for the beginner as well as more elaborate designs for experienced sewers. <br></br> Appliqués and designs are becoming more and more popular. This book shows how easy it is and how much satisfaction you will experience when you have created your first design. You will receive many compliments when you have a "one of a kind" garment or decoration for your home. <br></br> Appliqués are not limited to items you sew. A special touch to a ready-to-wear item does wonders. Also, you are not limited to clothes, you can work with towels, pillowcases, sheets; in fact, almost anything. For instance, a plain bathroom can be made very attractive by decorating the towels with a small applique using the same design in a larger size on the shower curtain. <br></br> Decorated towels make wonderful gifts. Any gift becomes much more personal when you apply an appliqué illustrating a hobby or personal interest. For example, how about a large note or notes for someone interested in music? Or you may use the initials of the person who will receive the gift. <br></br> Another good idea is to use appliqués to make a wall hanging. These can be almost any size and are especially nice for children's rooms. Or, how about a pretty wall hanging for Christmas? <br></br> Appliqués can be very simple or very elaborate. You can use lace, leather, suede, velvet, satin, or just about any kind of fabric. Appliqués can be decorated with pearls, beads, sequins, studs or jewels. <br></br> Let your imagination guide you in decorating with appliqués. The versatility of appliqués allows you to personalize for any mood. Colours can be vibrant or subdued, shiny or dull. You can achieve an elegant, pretty, country or any other look just by choosing the right appliqué and the right fabric. The master pattern is printed on durable white paper. The designs are printed on both sides of the paper so we could include as many designs as possible. Some designs are given in more than one size. Trace the pattern using tracing paper or tracing cloth, made of transparent pressed fibers. <br></br> This book has easy-to-follow sewing instructions with clear illustrations, time saving techniques and the most up-to-date sewing methods. All appliqués and creative ideas are shown throughout the book in full colour photographs. . First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good.

From Library Journal: Commonly known by such brand names as FIMO, Sculpey, and Cernit, polymer 'clay' is a claylike product made from polyvinyl chloride-soft and easy to work with until fired, yet rigid once baked at low temperatures. As polymer clay requires neither kilns nor expensive studio equipment, it is ideal for the novice jewelrymaker. Yet its wide range of available colors and its versatility when embellished with paints or metallic powders or when bonded with found objects makes polymer clay attractive to the professional artist as well. This book combines basic information on jewelrymaking, specific techniques required for working with polymer clay, and detailed instructions for 48 projects ranging from simple button covers to imaginative watch bands. The instructions are easy to follow, plus the practice requires little in the way of expensive tools.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good.
