    • Helpful to stash near your machine!
Format: Paperback
This is a quick guide. I like the information about the feet attachments and accessories available. It is nice to have a pocket book near machine because the actual photos of the L890 with instructions is at your fingertip. I think the best part of this little book are the actual photos of what the stitches are suppose to look like and the photos that show various parts of the machine at a glance. Bernina offers many "how to" instructions in their specialty books and manual that are great, however, the books are large in size. This is a quick reference that is easy to grab when you need a moment of assurance you are doing it right! I can spend $10.00 on food one time and end up throwing away left overs. This is worth the $8.50 because you will use it over and over again for quick reference. ... show more

    • Must Have Serger Guide!!
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Kindle Customer
This is a great guide for everyone that has a serger (or a coverstitch). It gives you many tips and the pictures help too. Don’t let the size of the book hold you back. It does not disappoint. And it’s perfect to take in your purse when you’re out shopping for supplies. I have post it notes inside mine so I know what needles to buy for my machine. ... show more

    • Small size fits easily into the case to take along
Format: Paperback
Tiny book, easy to take along. Wasn’t the book I thought I was getting but my fault. Will look for the other book later. Regardless, it’s got plenty of good info and the small size fits easily into the trolley case.

    • Really pocket size
Format: Paperback
It's good for people who already know stuff about their sergers. It doesn't go into a lot of details.

    • Very good instructor, clear guide with excellent photos.

This is a very handy guide to using your serger. If you're afraid of using your serger, this author will walk you through all the features and options available for getting acquainted with the machine. The photos are clear and the text is sufficiently sized.
