  • A perfect help in learning how to use my serger!
Book was high quality even though listed as used. Very satisfied with book.

  • Lifesaver
This book has been a lifesaver for me. I got my first serger for Christmas from my DH. It is actually a serger/cover stitch combo. The manual that came with it is good but I find using this book in conjunction with the manual has been invaluable. So thorough and great photos. It will always have a home next to my machine. ... show more

Skimmed through it quickly. Looks like it's a good overview of sergers. Now I need to sit down and actually do some serging...

  • Not really what I was expecting.
I thought this might be a step by step guide with test projects to learn how to use my new serger. It isn’t really. They have some projects but nothing I want to make.

  • Not very helpful.
Books descriptions are too confusing. None of the included patterns fit larger sizes.
