Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Sergers can do so much more than produce a clean seam or a simple decorative edge, and this extensive guide shows how. Beyond thorough coverage of serger basics and decorative thread analysis, there are directions for decorative flatlocking; rolled edges (including some stunning cascades of ruffles produced by rolling the edge over fishing line); heirloom serging (for lace inserts); and how-tos for using decorative serging to embellish jackets, sweatshirts, exercise and swimwear, accessories (shawls, belts, scarves, and more), kids' clothing, and home decor items. Though short on photos (except for a 32-page color section), there are numerous good diagrams and line drawings, and the instructions are encouragingly clear. --Amy Handy

Fantastic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Creative Serging Illustrated: The Complete Guide to Decorative Overlock Sewing (Creative Machine Arts) (Paperback)
This book has exciting options for sergers, beginning and expert sewers. The directions are clear and the pictures make this book a must for all sergers. I wished I had this book 10 years ago with my first serger. I am having more fun sewing with my serger than ever before.

Loved It,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The New Creative Serging Illustrated: The Complete Guide to Decorative Overlock Sewing (Creative Machine Arts) (Hardcover)
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that it is a 1994 edition, and the projects are dated. However, it is the best instructional book I have seen so far.
