A Perfect Stitch (Sewing Machine Pioneer Series)

Was recommend by our sewing tutor, I will be reading it in my spare time and be ready to do my own service. It could could be in the new year - can't wait.

Couldn’t put this down until finished then hubby read it. We kept reading bits out to each other! Brilliantly written, packed with information and not just about the 201. It have a lovely insight into the author.

This is a lovely book, written with such passion and excitement for a marvellous sewing machine. The history is so insightful, the stories are wonderful, and it will either make you want to buy a 201, or like me, treasure the ones I have with even more pride! They really do make the perfect stitch!

I have really enjoyed reading the history about the 201k's. I have three and learnt something from the book. Written in Alex's usual style and is easy reading.

Almost a history of the sewing machine (well, real machines anyway)

Really enjoyed learning about the history and the story telling. Only slight criticism is a little repetitive in places.

Really interesting, good knowledge

Didn't like the soft photocopied feel to it, plus plastic binding but the information will be helpful and is a bigger font than the original tiny booklets that came with the machine.

Arrived quickly, in good shape! This book is a fascinating look at the history and development of one of Singer’s best domestic sewing machines. I read it cover to cover all in one sitting. There is so much interesting info included.

I am enjoying this book so much. Easy to read and a pure joy! Learning so much more than I ever thought I wanted to about my machine.

Sono un umile appassionato di macchine da cucire vintage. Possiedo due macchine Singer 201k e Singer 201k-2. Volevo avere più informazioni riguardo al questo modello Singer. Ho trovato solo informazioni riguardo alla storia di questa macchina e tanta autopublicita del autore per acquistare altri suoi libri e visualizzare i suoi video su yotube. Mi aspettavo anche a dati tecnici, vari consigli per utilizzo e manutenzione di questa meravigliosa macchina. In poche parole, un libro incompleto.

Alex is a trusted resource for all things sewing machines. His writing is informative and humorous at times. I have several of his books.

I found this very interesting as a sewer using owns vintage sewing machines. This would also interest history students as well.
