I'm a new reader of your blog and I'm hooked! I'm an experienced seamstress, but don't sew a lot with knits--would like to though. I've notice you repeatedly use Jalie patterns--I haven't tried one yet, but I love the styles! This book would be perfect for me!

I've always been a little jealous of those who can sew well with knits! I will admit I'm a little intimidated by them - this book should come in handy! Thanks for the contest stacy.

Thanks, Stacy, for the review. I was particularly interested that a serger is not required, as I am still researching that purchase! I was hesitant to get this book for that reason, but you addressed my concern. That, to me, is what makes a review useful.

Have a great holiday weekend.

That sounds great, I'd love to have a book like that. Knits are some of my favorite clothes to wear, but my making skills definately need work!

I've been reading about this book and I've picked up some soft and wonderful moss green and lavendar cotton knit fabric at my local creative reuse center. Would LOVE to have the book to play with it! :-)

I've been thinking about making more tops for myself and knits seem easy and quick. I'm glad a serger isn't necessary for most of the projects. I have a serger but I don't always like fighting with it.

[46] On May-24-2008, shorty wrote:

So I don't have either book but am thinking I really need the stretch one. I have made three shirts now out of stretch but can tell I have NO idea what I am doing. It would be nice for some help! Thanks for the review, it is always nice to read a review from someone you can trust!

Well, I've been walking around the earth hoping I might be the winner of this book, and when I checked today, I didn't see my "entry" so I'm trying again. I'm nervous about sewing knits. I have some things I'd like to make, but I avoid starting for fear of "curly" edges, stretching and stuff like that. I went to Barnes and Noble a week or more ago, but they didn't have the book.

I have been wanting a copy of this so bad! I don't think I've ever commented on your blog, but I'm a regular reader. :)

Hi Stacy, I linked here from Average Jane Crafter. I have this book on my Wishlist, and would love to win your copy! Pick-me!

Found you via average jane crafter--and had to laugh, because I often go to Barnes and Noble just to look at this book! I am trying to work up the guts to try a pattern from the first book (or this one!) but as of yet haven't quite convinced myself. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

I had put this book on my wishlist at Amazon. Count me in the giveaway. Great reveiw.

I bought "Sew U" and made the pants (my first ever pair of pants, some errors made along the way but overall wearable), so I would love to try out this book. Anything that helps improve the sewing process is a good thing. Thanks for holding this drawing.

Ooooh, I hope I win. I have a lot to learn about working with knit fabrics. A whole lot.

Thanks! Sounds like a good one.

I picked Lotta Prints instead of this book for my every-so-often craft book splurge. I think once it comes together with the serger I haven't yet used, I will be unstoppable!

I really liked the first Sew U book, and I just bought a pile of knits at the thrift store....

I have so many knits in my stash but not enough confidence to sew them all up. I really want this book!
