I was quite disappointed with this book. Rather than teach you about using your knitting machine, it's mainly about sewing (cut-and-sew using big pieces of fabric knit on a machine). This is great if you want cut-and-sew techniques, but otherwise, you won't learn much about actually using a knitting machine from this book.
I love the ideas in this book and I think it will help me a lot to do the knitting I would like to do. Can't wait to try some of them out to see how they really work. I may end up wanting to keep this book as a reference. I currently have it checked out from the library.
