Author Description

Whether you're already using a serger or just thinking about buying one, you'll get plenty of use from this most complete book ever published on the subject. See how to recognize when you need a serger stitch instead of a sewing machine technique for finishing edges, making garments, or decorative work. Get clearly spelled out techniques for the times when a serger works better than a sewing machine for long, straight seams, fabrics that stretch, pill, or ravel, or are otherwise hard to control. Fully illustrated instructions show how to make buttonholes, and do lacemaking, quilting, and applique, all in the unique "serger mode".
