The Serger's Technique Bible: The Complete Guide to Serging and Decorative Stitching

Wow! So much amazing information of what sergers can do (depending on which one you have). Very easy to understand. Tons of pictures that show you how to accomplish each stitch with practice projects and idea files. Great way to take it to the next level.

This book was super helpful to me in learning how to set up and use my serger (I am new to serging). It explains everything you need to know in a super clear way, it goes over how to fix things like tension with loads of pictures, then gets into all sorts of other things you can do with your serger to use it not just for finishing seams but also creatively and decoratively. This is a great reference for anyone interested in upping their sewing game.

This book shows you how to thread a serger for the many stitch variations & uses of a serger. Originally written for Janome sergers-which are pictured in the book-it is nevertheless useful for ANY brand of serger with a few tweaks. I have a Juki serger, so I follow the threading guidelines that came with my Juki machine, & use the tension dial suggestions for many of the serging techniques suggested in this book. For instance, I never before though of using a narrow seam on the serger for the first pass of stitching for French seams. Brilliant! This book has a permanent place next to my serging tools as a reference!!

Has a ton of very useful information. I would call it a must have for anyone that is just starting to use a serger. It is also a great addition to any seamstresses library . I am very glad I purchased this book.

I really liked adding this book (by Hincks) to my sewing library as it is easy to hold, colorful, informative, easy to read and understand. The chapters are not long boring narratives, but broken into small sections accompanied by many pictures in color with tips in boxes and closeups of the items described. Chapter 2 includes the decorative stitches, and use of each specialty foot. Chapter 3 has a number of serger projects to make to become as familiar with a serger as you are with a sewing machine. I also own the Sewing Machine Embroiderer's Bible (Keegan) and the Sewing Machine Accessories Bible (Gardner & Logan) and refer to these small manuals often. Together, they make a nice set.

I have a few serger books, some better than others. This is one of the good ones for me especially as she has pretty much the same machine as I do but even if you have a different brand there would be no problem as they all work pretty much the same. If you have a Babylock with air threading and auto tensions then it wouldn't be much help. This book is easy to understand with lots of colour pictures to help you. It also has snippets of coverstitching throughout plus the 'Ideas' pictures on how to incorporate various stitches into design features. The only thing I would emphasis is that if you are an absolute beginner (i.e. never used a serger before) I would recommend getting a beginner one first as some of the instructions are assuming you are fairly familiar with using a serger and skim over the very basic stuff. For me, it rates as one of the best

If you have or you are getting a overlock sewing (serger) machine, this book covers all the basics and more. I have found it much handier than having to watch tutorial videos. You can keep it right near your machine for quick reference. My machine came with a manual and stitch technique guide, but I find the color photos in this book much easier to understand. All in all a very useful book.

Very helpful for anyone who have a serge machine . Picture are great help, Plus author has a website if you have other question. The book is easy to read and understand.So far I brought 3 books plus book that comes with machine, I feel between all those book and one class I took ,I can master my machine,. I feel a beginner needs that many books to master sewing with a serge .

Bardzo przydatna książka dla osób zaczynających przygodę z overlockiem. Dokładnie omawia ich wygląd, techniki szycia a później, na przykładach prostych projektów pokazuje zastosowanie overlocka w praktyce.

A very useful book, lots of information, had increased my knowledge with the use of sergers.

Older version, but great book, the Bible required for sewing! It explains everything, the projects in the books are 90s style but the information in the book is a must have
