For 40 years, I didn't sew at all and then, a couple of years ago, I decided to pick it up again. I had forgotten how much I loved it. However, my knowledge of my machine, fabrics, choice of needles, etc. is greatly lacking. Did I know I was supposed to change my needle every 6-8 hours of sewing?! Heck, I think I have used one needle for months! It explains a lot of my frustration in lousy stitching. And that's not all I learned from this book. Now I understand the importance of machine maintenance (and I do mean at home, not just the crisis visit to have it cleaned and tuned up professionally). I have just ordered 100 needles in bulk (yes, they are cheap). I have ordered a better, dual ended brush to clean out the dust and some additional feet. I recently bought a new sewing machine and armed with my newfound knowledge. As advised, I have thrown away ALL of my old thread (some had belonged to my grandmother). I have a lovely peg display for my threads, but now I understand they should not attract dust. So I have covered it up when not in use. I better understand fabrics and why you pre-wash before using. This book is written in clear, easy to understand segments. Love the "Sewing 101" highlights that offer great tips. Good instructional photographs. Excellent trouble-shooting advice. I have many "aha" moments. So for a beginner, or someone who has just a few basic sewing skills, I highly recommend this book. It will be a "go-to" for me that I will keep close at hand. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Opens up my rather limited sewing machine as I never dreamed possible! *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2017* I haven't even finished this book, and already I have gotten my 25-year-old Pfaff Hobby-Matic sewing like new again, which it wasn't even after the repair man left! I don't know HOW I did it -- I just went through and looked at all the suggestions Charlene Philips made, and when I was finished, the machine was no longer mangling thread beneath the foot plate.I also learned more than I ever had any idea there was to know about threads and how they are made, how to match thread to needle to fabric (okay, I sort of already knew how to match needle to fabric, but not needle to thread!) I'm sewing more now than I have since the first year I had the machine. I'd had a 1222e before the Hobby-Matic, and the H-M was such a step-down that I despaired of ever making anything more complex than pot-holders with it, where I'd been making anything and everything with the 1222e.I've also gotten a set of feet, and am learning to use them -- what an adventure that is! She has also talked about feet in the book, so that has given me a lot of courage.Do I still want a nicer machine? You bet! Am I finding out a lot more about what my HM can do? Oh, yes! I'm making a Halloween quilt right now! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars I'm So Glad I Purchased This Reference! *by L***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2015* It's been years since I've used a sewing machine and honestly, I never really took the time then to learn to use a sewing machine properly. Since that is the case and I have so much basic information to learn, I started looking for a book to teach me these things. Since I have very limited funds I feel very motivated to make the best choice I can for a reference to keep next to me while I sew. I have borrowed many books from the local library whose titles suggest they are for new sewers. I wanted to say that this is absolutely the BEST book I've seen so far for folks who are not experienced with sewing machines. There is so much basic information I wanted that is simply not covered in the sewing machine manual or even (believe it or not) on the sewing machine manufacturer's website. This book includes charts with the specific information I was looking for, excellent pictures and simple, complete explanations. I strongly recommend you consider purchasing this book.I love that I can borrow books from our local library and evaluate them prior to purchase. If you are financially challenged like me, I also recommend you check out the used books available on Amazon as the price is usually much less and if you purchase one that is listed as "Like New" and "Very Good" conditions, they are in excellent shape. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/2032229-the-sewing-machine-classroom-learn-the-ins-and-outs-your](https://www.desertcart.id/products/2032229-the-sewing-machine-classroom-learn-the-ins-and-outs-your) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
