Great fabric Reference book to keep on hand at all times. This book gives specific details for many fabrics. Details such as: what the fabric is best used for, sewing tips, interfacing to use, thread recommendations, presser food & stitch length.

I have flipped through this book before and must not have been paying attention to what it contained, which is a treasure trove of info about different fabrics, how they behave, how to sew with them, and nice little tips and tricks to get them work the way you want. I'm probably going to buy it to add to my collection for handy reference.

This is not a book to read cover-to-cover. It is a reference book. I would love a copy of this to keep in my sewing library. It’s the type of book one would refer to again and again.

Saw this book with a classmate of mine, it had a lot of very helpful pieces of information about how to sew each type of fabric, I am getting mine soon and know for sure I won't be struggling to find the best tools and settings to sew different fabrics anymore, I recommend.
