It deals with water-soluble stabiliser - a particular German brand. It shows how to make fabulous accessories - and I liked this part more than the jewellery. Make lacy stoles, scarves, tops and boleros that would cost a fortune in fashion stores. Instructions are clear and the photography of finished items is very good. I do believe a few more step-by-step instructions would have been helpful for beginners with soluble stabilisers. Some templates are provided. Create individual clothes with this 64-page book. I really enjoyed this book. Price: £6.99
