BASIC BUT COVERS A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION,
By A Customer
This review is from: Easy Guide to Serging Fine Fabrics (Sewing Companion Library) (Paperback)
I FOUND THE 'EASY GUIDE TO SERGING FINE FABRICS' TO COVER A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION. THERE'S NOTHING FANCY ABOUT THIS BOOK, IT IS CONCISE AND TO THE POINT WITH PLENTY OF PHOTOGRAPHS TO HELP YOU. AS A BEGINNER, I FOUND THIS BOOK HELPFUL AS IT COVERED EVERY ASPECT OF BASIC SERGING. THERE ARE ALSO SOME PROJECTS IN THE BOOK TO PRACTICE YOUR SKILLS. THE BOOK IS FAIRLY SIMILAR IN CONTENT TO SOME OTHER BOOKS ON SERGING, BUT WITHOUT UNNECESSARY TEXT TO READ. THE INFORMATION IS QUICK TO READ, SO YOU CAN GET ON WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

Such A Pleasure To Read.,
By Hobbyist (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Guide to Serging Fine Fabrics (Sewing Companion Library) (Paperback)
This book took all the fear out of serging/overlocking those delicate fabrics. The illustrations were very helpful and after a little practice the reults were good. It really gave me confidence and was also a pleasure to read.

Easy Guide to Serging Fine Fabrics,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Guide to Serging Fine Fabrics (Sewing Companion Library) (Paperback)
This is a great book for anyone who sergers, or would like to own and learn to use a serger. It is written in a clear concise way. Easy to understand with many supporting photographs. No matter what type of serger you own this book will help you to make the most of it. Serging fine fabrics can be intimidating, and a bit tricky but this book makes it easy.

great information,
By Nise - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Guide to Serging Fine Fabrics (Sewing Companion Library) (Paperback)
This book has great information on how to serge, tips on how to improve your technique, and great photos of the various procedures in action. It will teach you the basic foundation of serging and using your machine. It is not however a project book. Look elsewhere for actual projects, but get this for your personal reference library and it will serve you well.

Needed for your sewing library,
By Vivian Katz "Native Viv" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Easy Guide to Serging Fine Fabrics (Sewing Companion Library) (Paperback)
This is the book you need when you didn't get a chance to take the training when you bought the machine, or didn't get the chance to practice what you were taught. I have had my serger for 10 years and never learned how to do anything but finish seams, and sometimes they aren't so good. This book has taught me how to deal with all those picky little details I couldn't figure out, like turning corners, creating plackets, easing fabric, creating serger french seams. There are great learning techniques that are easy to master, with step by step instructions. This book helps perfect your seam, and teaches you how to use your machine more creatively and for more practical applications.
