Acknowledgments
I want to thank all the students I’ve had. They were my inspiration to write this
book, which makes sewing fast and easy to learn in our busy lives. Thank you,
Mrs. Goldberg, my next-door neighbor, who, when I was a child, encouraged all
my curiosity about sewing, knitting, and crocheting. Thank you to my dearest
friends, Martha Weissberg, Janice Harrison, and Dominic Harris, who
challenged me by saying “No one needs another sewing book.” Carl Raymond,
whose expert guidance on the book and its presentation was priceless. Dorsey
Mills, who saw my vision. Georgia Rucker, for her brilliant artistic hand both on
the book and on the Web site. Deborah Green, who helped organize my book,
and Liz Rourke, who helped edit the book with the eyes of a beginner sewer.
Julia Pastore, my editor at St. Martin’s Press, who got the book into its final
shape and without whom this book never would have been the very best guide to
sewing for beginners. Thanks to my agent, Susan Protter, who carried me
through some tough times. And many thanks to the gals who work and teach in
my place—they keep me in touch with our customer base and their needs while
learning to sew. Thank you, Mom, for all your support.
