This book describes the parts of the serger, how to thread a serger, stitches that sergers can do, and projects to show you how/when to use the stitches.
...offers owners of sergers a variety of project ideas and applications, as well as explaining when and how to use some of the many serger stitches now available on more advanced machines. If you have a 4+ thread serger, get this book.
Reviews:
...the book was aimed primarily at people who have a top of the line Babylock machine (which I do not have). Many of the applications that she described did not apply to my machine and most of the projects were beyond my capabilities.
