Pat M. - , reviewed ABCs of Serging: A Complete Guide to Serger Sewing Basics (Creative Machine Arts Series) on + 11 more book reviews
This book should be one of the mainstays of a sewing library for anyone owning a serger. The various serger stitches and techniques are clearly explained and numerous illustrations are included. There is also a chapter on troubleshooting various problems when the stitch-out comes out poorly. the book is written in generic terms so the information applies to any brand of serger, with the exception of sergers which cannot do a 2 thread stitch such as a coverstitch or chainstitch. The only drawback with this book is that instead of photos or being in color, all of the illustrations are black and white drawings instead of photos. The Singer New Sewing With a Serger is an excellent accompiantment that has color photos illustrating various stitches and garment construction.
