Sewing Edges and Corners: Decorative Techniques for Your Home and Wardrobe (An Embellishment Idea Book Series) Review: great reference book - I bought this book as a replacement for a damaged book I owned so obviously, I knew I would love it and needed to replace it. This book is not only for sewing edges and corners, it's title, but it gives examples of hems, cording, bindings in general, rickrack, exposed serged edges, binding knits, twisted yarn, novelty edges, etc. Although an owner of any machine would benefit from this book, Bernina owners (as I am) are doubly benefitted because it shows the uses of the various feet to make these applications easier. I am a believer that using the right foot can make a sewing project much easier and more professional looking. The illustrations explain in full detail how to do the projects. Review: Fabulous! Ya, a reference I can use! - Okay, I'm a novice sewer. I have lots of novice/fun books from Amy Butler and others on how to make cute projects such as fabric baskets, pajamas and pillows. Enter my frustration. Most "beginner" books will tell you to finish a seam by "basting" or "cut into the allowance". It all seems like a foriegn language. If that be the case, Linda's book here is the translation for how to actually finish your project by making those edges and corners look professional. Between this book and Sewing 101 (which I also highly recommend), I was able to accomplish a task my husband considered impossible. I am looking at a set of beautiful designer-fabric pillows, made by me (yes me, a young 30 something)!! Can't wait to move on to some of those cute projects in other eh-hem books. Thanks, Linda for writing a clearly illustrated text with instructions in clear language! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #350,770 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #366 in Decorating #568 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) #779 in Sewing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (72) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.79 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1561584185 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1561584185 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | November 17, 2000 | | Publisher | The Taunton Press | ## Images ![Sewing Edges and Corners: Decorative Techniques for Your Home and Wardrobe (An Embellishment Idea Book Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fJtqXhNEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great reference book *by S***A on May 8, 2013* I bought this book as a replacement for a damaged book I owned so obviously, I knew I would love it and needed to replace it.

I am not an expert sewing items, I just know a little bit and I usually make a lot of mistakes but I think that's the best way to learn. Don't get me wrong, this is a really nice book about edges, specially when you are doing cushions but there is only 1 picture per page and the rest of the page is just instructions on how to do the edge you want. I am a very visual person and I like to see pictures for almost every step so I can understand well what I am doing. If you don't have some experience in sewing, do not buy this book, you really need to have some experience or you will be lost. The book is small and each page is only half the size of a regular letter size sheet so as you can imagine, the instructions are not too detailed I think. It is a good reference book and a good addition to your sewing library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5667525-sewing-edges-and-corners-decorative-techniques-for-your-home-wardrobe](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5667525-sewing-edges-and-corners-decorative-techniques-for-your-home-wardrobe) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
