This indispensable guide was written for everyone: home sewers and pro- fessionals alike who are sewing new fabrics, looking for fresh ideas, improving their skills, or learn- ing to sew; but it was written especially for anyone who wants good results, but doesn’t have a lot of time to get them. Sew Any Fabric’s user-friendly format focuses on 88 of today’s most popular fabrics while the Fabric/Fiber Dictionary defines and describes an additional 600 fabrics which can be sewn in a similar manner. Organized for easy reference, this must-have guide provides the practical, up-to- date information you need to sew any fabric successfully and confidently. Part One - The Fabrics is arranged in an easy-to-use, A-to-Z format. Each fabric is de- scribed in a short, concise chapter which includes a brief definition, its Sewability classification, a list of similar fabrics, suggestions for using the fabric, garment types, and appropriate design de- tails; a Sewing Checklist; and Workroom Secrets. The fabric definition describes the fabric and its most important features. This is particularly important for fabrics which are similar, have the same name, or are part of a large group. For ex- ample, terry cloth can be a woven or knit, stretch or non-stretch, and each is slightly different. The unique Sewability classification tells you how easy the fabric is to sew.
