A practical idea book for exploring what a sewing machine can do

Marion Elliot’s guide treats the sewing machine as a flexible creative tool, connecting its built-in functions and stitch settings with hands-on techniques and projects. Short feature spreads gather tips, tricks, and prompts around appliqué, quilting, and inventive sewing with fabric scraps. Its browseable layout supports both targeted problem-solving and casual inspiration: open to a technique, test a machine setting, or use a project as a starting point for experimentation. The emphasis stays on finding fresh uses for familiar equipment and building a repertoire of practical sewing possibilities.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Sewers wanting to explore machine features and stitch settings more fully
  • Crafters interested in appliqué, quilting, and scrap-fabric projects
  • Anyone who prefers bite-size sewing tips and project ideas

Book overview

This title allows you to look at the features in your trusty sewing machine in a completely new light and discover how practical functions and stitch settings can become creative goldmines. A mixture of feature spreads that burst with tips, ideas, tricks, inspirations, and creative projects covering everything from applique and quilting to using scrap fabric for sewing that's a bit more 'off-piste'. The flexible 'dip-into' format makes for a highly accessible and inspirational product - funky page layouts hold a wealth of must-know bite-size information. It is a 'go-to' book that will be referred to again and again for sewing techniques and inspiration, even as the same reader's confidence and skills grow.
