Synopsis
Anyone who has ever shopped for a sewing machine knows that it can be as difficult as buying a used car and just as expensive. Now you can go into the process knowing what to look for, what questions to ask, and how to get the best deal possible. More than a buying guide, this book will help you figure out what those new computerized machines can do for you, whether you need a new machine at all, and how to get the most out of your machine, no matter what its vintage. You will learn how to analyze your sewing personality so you can find the machine that suits you; update your old model to give it modern features; clean the machine yourself; test-drive a sewing machine, either new or used; negotiate for the best price possible; organize your sewing space to suit your needs; and make your own sewing and cutting table, and more.

Reviews
Giordano, who both collects and uses sewing machines, here discusses strategies for choosing the right machine. He explains how to test a machine, how to bargain for a good deal, and how to set up your sewing space once you get your purchase home. With its mixture of practical advice and money-saving tips, this book is engaging reading even for someone not all that interested in purchasing a sewing machine. Highly recommended for public libraries.
