Have recieved my sample book, i think its a pretty nifty guide to have and will help with choosing fabric for the long list of patterns i have waiting to be sewn up.

So easy to use. States weight of fabric, Its use and the best needle to use. It explains how the fabric weight is calculated, fabric composition and the stretch properties. It contains 40 2inch fabric samples. It is a very useful reference guide.
