Most of the sewing techniques in this book, I already know. However I still cannot sew a welt pocket or a bound buttonhole. The instructions for that are the same as in other sewing books I own. I fear no matter how many sewing books I acquire welt pockets and bound buttonholes are beyond my concept!
