Book Description:
Sergers offer project possibilities beyond the capabilities of ordinary sewing machines, but they also seem to have more potential for malfunctioning. This manual is filled with solutions and troubleshooting advice for all manner of serger troubles. Rather than present ideas for projects, this guide tells you how to identify and correct everything from irregular tension, faulty flatlocking, and skipped stitches to machine jams, needle breakage, and much more. The "Insider Insights" chapter covers troubleshooting for individual models and enables users to apply solutions to virtually any brand of serger. There are also tips on buying a serger and details on needles, threads, and accessories.
Reviews:
Close-up photography and to-the-point tips show you how to solve just about any problem, no matter what your serger brand, model or vintage. If you own a serger, or are thinking of buying one (shopping guidelines are also included), get this book.
With the clear checklist of features of various sorts of sergers, we figured out what we were going to want to look for when we "test drove" sergers... and picked out a serger we've been very happy with. The troubleshooting tips (the bulk of the book) have saved us much frustration. One of the cheapest and most valuable serger accessories you'll buy.
There should have been more information, such as threading. ... basically a troubleshooting guide for tensions, and it looks very good for that, but "ultimate" it isn't.
