Excellent book!
I have been looking for a fabric swatch book for quite some time. I sew apparel for myself, and buying fabric online can be a challenge if I don't know exactly what I want. This book gives you actual fabric swatches to feel, and it also gives you the information about each fabric such as what it can be used for. I have been looking at purchasing it for some time, but I was having a hard time justifying the price point when I couldn't see the book. I am so glad I gave in and got it, as it is exactly what I was looking for. 100% recommend for newer sewists just learning about fabric types.

Great resource
In the age of needing to buy fabric online due dwindling fabric stores, this is an indispensable resource for anyone who sews clothing and home décor items. It has actual swatches of fabric for touch and feel. The book outlines details of the fabric such as best use, care, etc. It has swatches of fabric that I will never use, but for choosing fabric, especially some of the newer knits, this is great! Pricey but worth it!

um...yes please :)
Love my book. It came in great condition. I can see why it may fall apart in the future...but whatever. It is a great book with samples and all the information I've been looking for. Everyone who sews, is learning to sew, or designs clothing would benefit from a book like this. I love mine. It is so valuable, I don't ever see myself getting rid of it.

Amazing! Nother beats the feeling of fabric person
Stop wasting money on fabric swatches.This helped me decide what type I wanted and kept me from buying all kinds of swatches. I'm not a professional dress maker but I wanted to make some garmets so they helped point me in the right direction.Nothing beats being able to feel fabric.

Helps with fabric selection
It's a good book, however I miss some of the American fabric names. The names of the fabric types are mainly in British English. Otherwise it is great to get an idea of a fabrics attributes and helps with Ordering the right fabric online for my next project

Good price for beginners
The swatches are already organized for you! This is a great introductory book for the price. I am just a hobby self-taught sewer, so I found this to be really useful for ordering fabrics online. They are organized by material--animal, plant, or created. The silks are amazing. They also included different weaves of similar threads so that you can feel the texture and thickness. The pages are on a 3-ring binder, so they turn easily and fit for how thick they are.

Great resource! Misleading “Like New” description
The book itself is exactly what I was looking for. However, it was listed in like new condition and I just don’t agree. I would have spent the extra 20 bucks and gotten new if I had known the cover was falling apart.
