Indispensable reference book for sewists
I like to sew, but have stuck closely to fabrics that I am familiar with because, well, I am familiar with them -- how they drape, how easy they are to cut out (or not), and how to care for them. Sticking with just familiar fabrics is limiting, but venturing out into a new (expensive!) fabric can be daunting. This book has helped encourage me to try new fabrics. She gives clear descriptions of how the fabric behaves, how to clean it, what projects it is particularly good for, and what to avoid. She also talks about notions and tools that will help you to be more successful with some of the more challenging fabrics. Definitely a keeper on my reference shelf.

Excellent!
What a great book. I have not been sewing for very long. The types of fabrics, presser feet, stitches lengths, and much more, are exactly what I was looking for. Very simply written making the contents very easy to read and understand.

Great info! examples but no samples
The book is excellent and will be very helpful as it tells what items are good to make for each fabric along with recommendations for sewing foot, needle size and type of thread. For some reason I thought that it came with fabric samples to touch not just photos. As I re read the description I see that it doesn't include samples but examples. It's hard to tell from some of the photos exactly what the fabric is but the descriptions are great.

I didn't realize how much I needed it!
I have found this book to be very useful, particularly for washing and pressing information. I also use the needle recommendations.

The book is a Fabric Encyclopedia!
I have always wanted this book, but never knew that I actually needed it. Fabric Savvy has all the information that a sewist need for learning not only about the fabric facts and suitable for, with sewing tips, but also how to care for/preshrink, what pressure foot needle, thread, and interfacing to use, seam finish etc.. to name a FEW. This is a fabric encyclopedia.
