Sewing Knits from Fit to Finish: Proven Methods for Conventional Machine and Serger

I only received this book yesterday...though I had it pre-ordered from June of 2017... and I am already convinced that it is a book that will really help me!I am a reasonably able sewist, but I generally prefer wearing and sewing wovens, so I feel like a frightened beginner when it comes to knits.With Linda Lee's background I was hoping for some clarity with this book and I think that I found what I had hoped for! I have collected other books on sewing with knits, but they have mostly left me still feeling unclear. This book, I think, will help me finally turn the page on sewing with knits. The book is well planned and beautifully, clearly, illustrated with step-by-step instructions for sewing knits with a conventional home sewing machine as well as with a serger (just as the title says!A wide variety of knit fabrics are swatched and photographed for illustration...which I find very helpful. The only thing better would be to have fabric swatches in hand. I have considered taking an online class on sewing knits that does provide swatches to work with, but the swatches are a tad expensive for my budget and, in all honesty, it seems that knit fabrics are constantly evolving...as new forms of knits become available on the market so I have not yet talked myself into spring for the class. This book will do well to increase my understanding and ability to sew knit fabrics in the meantime.To me, this book will help help both already confident knit sewists as well as those of us who need just a bit more hand holding to build up our confidence! This s an excellent addition to my sewing library and was worth the wait!

This is an insightful and easy to understand 'must read' for anyone beginning to sew knits. I'd been struggling for a few months and finally decided I needed a textbook! Yes, I'm a perfectionist. This book answered all of my questions and concerns. I actually sat down and read the entire book , cover to cover, in one sitting. It is very well written and illustrated.

Author was a huge sewing influencer long before social media and this book contains info you could get if you paid for her classes pre-Youtube. Granted, a good bit of this info is available for free on the internet now but having it all in a book can be a handy thing. My only complaint is the paper quality is poor; I would have expected at least thick, smooth paper in a book from this author and publisher.

Great. Exactly what I needed to know for sewing with knit fabric. Great for a beginner or intermediate sewer. So much on understanding different knit fabrics. Best knit book I own so far

I've followed Linda Lee for several years. I have several of her videos, and a number of her sewing tutorials. She is teaching me to sew correctly. So, it follows that I would want this book, Sewing Knits From Fit to Finish. It is well illustrated, and easy to read and understand.

I'm just getting back into fashion sewing after 15 years and am starting to sew with a variety of knits. This book is so fabulous! It covers everything from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Very informative and layer out nicely. Very reader friendly. Anyone looking to work with knits should at least take a look at the contents and come away with knowledge to assist you in making a quality product.

I am only giving this a 3 rating bc this book is not for me. It is however Avery comprehensive book for beginning sewers of knit. I am not. There is nothing In the book that I don’t already know. With that said I think a new sewer will appreciate this book as it has all the basics one needs to learn to sew with knits.
