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.

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.

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.

You wont be disappointed with this book. There are so many NEW ideas and suggestions for better usage of your serger. I made many of my gifts this year from the suggestions and instructions in this book. Happy serging!

This is a good book. Not the absolute best for beginners but worth having if you can find it for a good price!

At $24.95, this book was too expensive. I do not have chain and cover stitch so it was of limited value to me. It was worth $6.95, though.

The giveaway is the introduction on how the two authors met, over sangria. How ridiculously narcissistic. It reads as if it were written by someone with a bottle in one hand and a pen with napkin in the other. It is useless for the beginner who needs step by step photo instruction with description.

I'm glad I checked this one out at the library, because its going back.

I loved this book. It has lots of photos and the instructions are accurate. Lots of ideas, too.
