I’m 68 and been sewing since I was a child. My grandmother was a professional seamstress. I’ve been nursing an old Janine for a few years. I’d love to learn how to keep her going a few more!

Great resource for any sewer!
This would be a very useful reference book!
I just got my granddaughter a sewing machine for her birthday. We could really use this book!
I’ve been sewing for 50 years but I’m always anxious to learn something new. Thanks for the opportunity!
I so need this!!! Every sewing machine I’ve owned has had problems, especially with the tension feature. I cannot decipher anything from the self-help manuals. HELP!
I’ve been having some bobbin issues. I hope to learn new troubleshooting techniques.
I would love to own a copy of this book! I think it will come in very handy.
This book would be great for me, being a new sewer and learning about my machine. I need to keep my machine happy.
This would be super for me! There’s so much about my machine that I’m sure I do not know yet.
The perfect reference guide. If I win I will give as a gift to my daughter.

I just started sewing a few months ago and have been borrowing books from the library to learn techniques. Would love to have my own copy to always have on hand!
I love your newsletter.
Looks like a comprehensive book on sewing. It seems to give a very clear view of what is going on while
sewing a project. Great!!!
This would be a great reference book to have!

I would love to win this book for my sister. A friend gave her a sewing machine but it didn’t have a book with it. This book would be great for her. Thank you.
This looks like a great reference book to own!
I know exactly who I would give this book to. They are a new sewer and this would be a great reference book for them.
I admit it, I could use this…..
Would be a great addition to my sewing room. Thanks for the chance!
I would love to own this book. I have been trying to relearn sewing skills.
Would love to add this to my sewing library.
WOW! Could I ever use this!
Oh wow, that would really guide me. I haven’t done any sewing since before my son was born and lets see, he will be 47 next month. I just can’t do it. I have tried. I have purchased 3 new sewing machines and lets see, 2 I gave away as I couldn’t get the tension right and found a great big mess on the inside of the material. I blamed it on the machine of course. Then I purchased another machine 6 months ago and am afraid to take it out of the box. Please help, I really need this.
My adult daughter is starting to sew, what a wonderful book to share with her.
I haven’t actually sewed anything in over 30 years and have recently gotten back into it (new grandson) so a updated reference book would be awesome.
I would really like to have a book like this!
Thank you – I could really use this book!
I have a love/hate relationship with my sewing and would be thrilled to improve that relationship
You can never know too much about your sewing machine or in my case machines. This would be a great addition to my sewing library.
This sounds like a great reference book. Thanks for the give away!
I inherited my machine from a friend and I don’t have a clue how some things work. I’ve tried Google for some help to no avail. This would be an awesome opportunity for me to learn. I didn’t think there would be a sewing machine book out there. Thanks!
This would come in handy right now. I have two sewing machines that are not sewing correctly. This sure would save me a lot of money if I am able to troubleshoot the problem myself.
Well, this would be helpful! I just semi-retired and am looking forward to really getting into sewing, plus I just “inherited” a great quality – but old! – Viking machine that I want to get into good running condition again. By the way, I get the newsletter and follow on Facebook as well!
This would be a great book for me. I bought a sewing machine 15 years ago. Had problems with threads and stopped. Now I am terrified of my sewing machine. I need a good push start.
by gosh this could be very useful
