Whether you just bought your first sewing machine or have been sewing for years, Martha Stewart’s Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts will open your eyes to an irresistible range of ideas. A comprehensive visual reference, the book covers everything a home sewer craves: the basics of sewing by hand or machine, along with five other time-honored crafts techniques, and step-by-step instructions for more than 150 projects that reflect not only Martha Stewart’s depth of experience and crafting expertise, but also her singular sense of style.
 
Encyclopedic in scope, the book features two main parts to help you brush up on the basics and take your skills to a new level. First, the Techniques section guides readers through Sewing, Appliqué, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing. Following that, the Projects A to Z section features more than 150 clever ideas (including many no-sew projects), all illustrated and explained with the clear, detailed instructions that have become a signature of Martha Stewart’s  magazines, books, and television shows.
 
An enclosed CD includes full-size clothing patterns as well as templates that can be easily produced on a home printer. Fabric, thread, and tool glossaries identify the properties, workability, and best uses of common sewing materials. And, perhaps best of all, when you need it most, Martha and her talented team of crafts editors offer you the reassurance that you really can make it yourself.
 
The projects are as delightful as they are imaginative, and include classic Roman shades, hand-drawn stuffed animals, an easy upholstered blanket chest, a quilted crib bumper, French knot-embellished pillowcases and sheets, and Japanese-embroidered table linens, among many others.With gorgeous color photographs as well as expert instruction, this handy guide will surely encourage beginners and keep sewers and crafters of all experience levels wonderfully busy for many years to come.

Quilting for Beginners — Learn the Basics of Quilting

61nuqUC8o5L. SL160  Quilting for Beginners    Learn the Basics of Quilting

What is the history of quilting…and does it even pertain to you? Quilting dates back a VERY long time, and many cultures have distinctly different ways and reasons

for quilting. Inside, we’ll discuss 7 unique cultures, and what their quilting styles are.

The technical guide…learn what all the confusing terminology REALLY means. Quilting has a language of it’s own…this guide will break down the meanings of many of

the toughest terms. Over 60 different terms are explained!

Which style are you going for, and how can you achieve it? With so many choices, it’s easy to get confused. First, we’ll narrow down what it is you are going to create

(be it a quilt, wall hangings or anything else you can imagine). Once you’ve got that figured out, you can choose which direction you’d like to go with the style.

Where can you find some of the most important quilts ever created? In this chapter, we’ll discuss 4 of the most significant quilts in history. Not only will you be

able to understand what they were made for, and why they are significant…but you’ll also be able to view some of them from the comfort of your own home!
