If you are considering buying this fabric swatch book, make sure you can find the text book that goes with it. The swatch kit is just a book that has blank pages with fabric swatches that are supposed to affix to the pages. The pages are blank unless you are getting a used book. In that case, the previous owner will have filled out the information about the swatch which could be incorrect. I got the swatch book first, thinking that would be all I would need to learn the different fabrics. I was wrong, the textbook goes hand-in-hand with this book and I would think one is worthless without the other.
I love the textbook that goes with this, but the swatches are of poor quality. My teacher had to constantly bring in better fabric samples for us to cut swatches of.
This. was. awesome.Before I purchased this book in "like new" condition I researched every review for commonality. It seemed like the common complaints were that the texta) missed some swatches - I had no problems with this! Some swatches were stuck to one another and could have been missed if not dilligent...b) gave too many swatches- I had 2 extra. probably because they were thick fabrics. didn't really carec) too expensive - this is a lifelong resource guide. there are extra pages to add new samples afterwards. Can you use a previous edition?d) couldn't be used without the text- yes you can. just keep the swatches in order and use the guide in front to name them. the text gives you more info for the pages (and assignments) but you could find that yourself...This was an excellent buy and I received an easy "A" for it. Not sure why the scorn.
I received this in a very timely manner in very good condition. All was great until I had realized that the access code had already been registered when this was supposed to be a "new" book. The access code for the online material has practice tests and additional information to assist students outside of the classroom, so it's kind of necessary. Just be weary of who you're purchasing from.
The price for this book was good and it was still wrapped. However when I opened it and began putting it together, a couple of the swatches were damaged and unuseable (which I'm paying for with my grade in my textiles class). The seller was great and the book arrived very quickly, and while the seller accurately described the condition of the book as "NEW", it was the responsibility of the publisher to ensure the book and accompanying materials were produced properly.
It had all the switches in place. It was organize and neat. Book was in good condition for it to be.
Missing 4 swatches and included 2 extras I did not need. Other than that, I was satisfied.My friend bought the same book (new condition) for $80 and was missing a whole stack of swatches.
the swatch kit was a lot of fun putting together but i did have one swatch that wasnt the right fabric but overall this item was one of the better swatch books ive seen
