Review
" 'Get to know your sewing machine' books are a dime a dozen, but few provide the extensive coverage of sewing machine accessories needed by both beginning and experienced sewers. Gardiner and Knight describe the wide variety of sewing machine feet in detail, and photos of each foot allow for easy identification: excellent." ---Library Jounal, Best Fiber Crafts Books 2011

I have a Janome sewing machine, a relatively ordinary model that does fancy stitches and came with only a few presser feet; zipper, zigzag, hemming, and a couple of others. But when you go to the dealer, you can find all sorts of specialized feet that add a lot of functionality to your machine. You can do fringing, add soutache (a sort of braid), you can put piping on pillows, and do all sorts of things that are especially fun if you do home decor sewing (my favorite), make children's clothing or do costuming for theater.
This book is updated and that's very welcome because there are new feet and new ideas. The book features a lot of Janome feet, which is great because that is a very common brand of machine. Other machines are discussed, however, such as Brother and Bernina. And many feet operate the same way, no matter what brand machine you own (and that includes one machine I have that is a 1953 Elna model.)
There is a fifteen-step buyers guide to help you figure out which feet you want to add to your collection (helpful because too many feet can be hard on your budget. Best to buy what you intend to use.) There is also a buyer's guide on types of sewing machines, and that is also helpful because one of the questions I get asked all the time is "which machine?" That depends on many things--basically what you intend to sew the most, or what functionality you wish to add that you don't have already and can't ADD to your existing machine. (For example, I want to do embroidery, so I added an embroidery sewing machine because I can dedicate it to monogramming or motifs for clothes and decor items. But if I don't intend to embroider, that machine would not be needed.) There is also a buyer's guide for sergers.
