A serger is a multi-threaded, multi-needled appliance that sews at an average speed of 1500 stitches per minute—three times faster than most sewing machines. Though expressly designed to finish edges and seams, the introduction of microchip technology has enabled sergers to go well beyond those simple tasks. Sewers who want to take full advantage of this miracle machine need look no further than this thoroughly up-to-date and comprehensive manual. It’s fully illustrated with both photos and line drawings, and offers complete instructions for every type of serger available to the hobbyist today. Each one is listed by brand, with a description of its pros and cons. And that’s not all; there are plenty of projects, too, including scarves, throws, shirts, gowns, bedcovers, and quilts.

THIS is the serger book that deals with Cover & Chain Stitches!,

This review is from: Creative Serging: Innovative Applications to Get the Most from Your Serger (Paperback)
I went through so many serger books before I finally found this one that gives tips & ideas for using the cover & chain stitch functions on the TOL sergers!! The book is worth the purchase price just for that. It also contains good basic, entry level serger information, and some interesting garment projects that will help you stretch your serging muscles and get you thinking about all kinds of creative possibilities.

Limited Utility,
By Voracious Reader (Inside the Beltway, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Serging: Innovative Applications to Get the Most from Your Serger (Paperback)
This book is really only useful to those who have newer sergers that chain & coverstitch. There are 2 helpful pages each on stabilizers, thread, & accessories - out of 170+ pages of text. The text is written in a gushing "golly, gosh, aren't we irreverent & fun" style. The project instructions are sketchy, more outlines than instructions. In the end it doesn't matter, as the projects themselves are so unattractive & home-made looking I wouldn't ever consider making them. A disappointing waste of money.

This review is from: Creative Serging: Innovative Applications to Get the Most from Your Serger (Hardcover)
I found this book very disappointing. I have a large collection of sewing & serging books that are inspiring and useful, and this book isn't either of those. There are few applications in this book I would ever use, and it most likely will just sit on the shelf.
