A Perfect Stitch (Sewing Machine Pioneer Series)

Alex is a trusted resource for all things sewing machines. His writing is informative and humorous at times. I have several of his books.

I've restored and repaired dozens of Singer 201s over the years and, being a historian academically, thought I knew most everything there was about the model. However, this book is very well researched, insightful and well written by a life long mechanic and historian of the trade. I learned a lot about the models development than I previously knew and found many of the sidebar musings very delightful. I personally think this is the best of the series by the writer.

Excellent book on history and features of the 201. The author has a fine sense of humor, making the read that much more enjoyable.

I purchased this to help me refurbish a new to me singer 201. I found I enjoyed his writing style and It is very informative and interesting to learn about the history of this beautiful machine. There are some enjoyable antidotes and some very useful information to use while rehabing my sewing machine.

Good quality

This book tells you everything about the 201! I had no idea of the history of Singer Sewing Machine Company & the work they did for WW2! I could not put the book down. Well written! Thank you Alex!

Excellent book and the author has written many others.

For the newbie to the world of the vintage machine, this is a nice' short review of what is arguably Singer's greatest Sewing marvel. Lucky enough to have two!

Arrived quickly, in good shape! This book is a fascinating look at the history and development of one of Singer’s best domestic sewing machines. I read it cover to cover all in one sitting. There is so much interesting info included.

The author's enthusiasm for his subject really shines through, coupled with lots of historical detail and a ready sense of humour. Highly recommended.

Sono un umile appassionato di macchine da cucire vintage. Possiedo due macchine Singer 201k e Singer 201k-2. Volevo avere più informazioni riguardo al questo modello Singer. Ho trovato solo informazioni riguardo alla storia di questa macchina e tanta autopublicita del autore per acquistare altri suoi libri e visualizzare i suoi video su yotube. Mi aspettavo anche a dati tecnici, vari consigli per utilizzo e manutenzione di questa meravigliosa macchina. In poche parole, un libro incompleto.

Was recommend by our sewing tutor, I will be reading it in my spare time and be ready to do my own service. It could could be in the new year - can't wait.

Couldn’t put this down until finished then hubby read it. We kept reading bits out to each other! Brilliantly written, packed with information and not just about the 201. It have a lovely insight into the author.
