Good book for Babylock owners,
By
This review is from: Serge With Confidence (Paperback)
The book was thorough and detailed. Illustrations were good. However, the book was aimed primarily at people who have a top of the line Babylock machine (which I do not have). Many of the applications that she described did not apply to my machine and most of the projects were beyond my capabilities. I love Nancy Zieman and have a number of her publications, but this one is not a whole lot of use to me.

A must have if you own a serger,
By
This review is from: Serge With Confidence (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by an instructor and boy, was she right! It offers owners of sergers a variety of project ideas and applications, as well as explaining when and how to use some of the many serger stitches now available on more advanced machines. If you have a 4+ thread serger, this is a good book for you.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Serge With Confidence (Paperback)
I have purchased a Sinqer Quantum (I love this machine) and have learned a lot from another book I purchased from Amazon for Singer Serger's.
I believe this book compliments my first book, however, Nancy Ziemen is a Babylock advocate and a few of the projects relate to having one. The books example's are in detail and is very helpful for first time users. I would recommend this book for anyone who has a serger (Babylock or not) because the techniques are useful for all machines.
