  You Can Teach Yourself How To Use A Serger
Review created: 08/21/06

6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I taught myself how to use my serger using both this book and the owner's manual that came with my serger. I found this book to be very helpful. It has lots of diagrams that clearly illustrate the instructions given. Also the book goes into more detail than my owner's manual did.

Some of the topics covered: stitch types, tension and tension adjustments, threading, flatlocking, narrow rolled edges, and much much more.

I think this book will be helpful to you if you own a serger from around the time period this book was written (lots of them pop up for sale on eBay.) I am not sure how much serger technology has advanced since this book was printed, so if you have the very latest model with all the bells and whistles you'll probably be better off with a more updated book. But, this book covers all the basics for using a basic serger. I found it to be clearly written and straightforward.

The book gives the basics just a good quality book for beginners. I would recommend for a gift. Also provides a beginners list of supplies so, that you will not buy to many to start your serger projects.

  ABC's of Serging
Review created: 01/08/09

I bought a new serger. It is still sitting on the shelf, being intimidating. I am reading this book, and it is showing me the serger is not as scary as it looks and it is showing me, step by step. I have been sewing for over 40 years, but a serger is a completely different "animal". This book is valuable in the pictures and descriptions. I compare the pictures of the book to serger and am learning all about it. The manual that came with the serger is very difficult to understand or read. It is printed in tiny print and black and white with very little explanation. The ABC's of Serging is very helpful and descriptive taking away the difficulty of the machine. It is writtten in a way to understand with larger print. It also says in the beginning that although the machine can be intimidating, not to worry. I trust the book is right. I like it. I know it will teach me how to begin, and then I will be off sewing everything. I have projects lined up, just waiting to be done with that serger. This book should be an excellent reference book for me.

This is a basic book on serging. Nothing is really wrong with it, but I expected it to go past my Serger Manual. I think for some that have not sewn as long or have difficulty reading their manual, this book is for them.
