I had the privilege of taking classes from Della Steinekert - what an interesting lady!Estherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07954364009385391625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365680.post-92123784076185829882011-08-08T06:53:42.372-06:002011-08-08T06:53:42.372-06:00I had an earlier edition of this book, but I wasn't able to appreciate it at the time. I think I'm ready for it now. I use pivot and slide and I have been looking for the definitive volume on that method. I like that this book includes other methods as well. Thanks for your review. I think I'll move this book up on my wish list.Elarayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06487492651398001387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365680.post-57510211975492494262011-08-06T07:28:23.334-06:002011-08-06T07:28:23.334-06:00Would you suggest this book to a beginner? I've made pillows, small bags, but I'm really curious about dresses/skirts. I have Cal Patch's beginner sewing book (good book, but not super helpful for me), but I have been drooling over this book also.Nazanin Baserihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12642482406370533676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365680.post-70634338148953723952011-06-18T00:37:40.036-06:002011-06-18T00:37:40.036-06:00This is my goto book for pattern alteration. I had the first version of this book from 15-20 years ago. I would always do the seam allowance alteration wrong but since they include all three ways to do an alteration, I would get it fixed eventually. I finally had another chance to do a class on the book and now not only can I do the seam allowance alteration right, I have taught people how to do it.Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16686137416271807895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365680.post-30285112340391085292011-05-28T09:16:09.237-06:002011-05-28T09:16:09.237-06:00Many thanks for this review; encourages me to put it top of my current wishlist.
