Does anyone have a really good book about heirloom sewing by machine with adult patterns (size 2 and up) they could recommend? Thanks.

Martha Pullen is the Heirloom sewing Guru.. Check her website for what she has to offer.. If you check your PBS stations, you should be able to find her TV show..

Thanks, Libby. I live in Martha Pullen Country and I have three of her books. I was just thinking there might be something new out there. Gayle

Hi! There are some great booklets out there, maybe from several years ago or more, but they were written for the Bernina machines. And they are great! About 7-8 years ago, I used them to make my grandchild's christening dress, and they really helped! But I don't remember the author's name. Good luck! Lulie |

Thanks, Lulie! I have a Viking Designer I and a Huskylock serger. I took the serger classes at the Bernina shop--they were very thorough and I bought the Bernina Serger notebook for guidance. I will stop by there to see what they have regarding heirloom sewing.
