Customer Reviews

Thank goodness for this book.

I think this book should come with the Singer Quantumlock. Buy it. The manual that comes with the machine isn't enough. This book, along with the online materials from Singer, will make your serger usable and enjoyable. (The book may also be used with other types of sergers.) Great photos. I use this book to figure out how to adjust tension and to figure out which type of stitch to use.

New to Serging

Santa gave me a Singer Serger for Christmas. I had never had one so when I saw the Singer book on serging I decided to get it. I think it is a great book. It has great photos with the different stitches so you can tell what is wrong if you have a problem. It also explains how to sew different items with your serger. I've already sewn several napkins and several neck scarves for gifts. I love my new serger and have used "The New Sewing with a Serger" for a reference book. I highly recommend it. Marie Owens

Great beginners book

I actually bought this book while I was trying to decide which serger I wanted to buy (since it details features available in the many types of machines) - and now that I actually have the serger it is even more helpful. It is great for a beginner because it details how to fix tension problems, which is something I think everyone new to serging has problems. It also tells how to do many simple decorative techniques. I will definitely be using this book as a reference even though I do not own a Singer serger. Lots of pictures, lots of color. A great book to go with your serger manual.
