Guide Review - Book Review

My teenage daughter is definitely into jewelry making. This book got her interested in my thread cabinet and waiting for me to have a pile of trimmed threads. The ideas in this book had me checking on my supply of water soluble stabilizers. I am guarding the book so I keep it within MY reach. I know there is a distinct possibility that my daughter will make this book walk right out of my sewing room.
