Book Reviews of Serge With Confidence
Book Review: Good Beginner's Book
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: All the answers to things, "I should know about serging. . ."
Summary: 5 Stars
. . .but don't and am embarrassed to ask: Nancy Zieman explains in Serge With Confidence. No longer do I feel locked in a duel between the serger and the just-simply-serge-it projects. Utilitarian turns to decorative and creativity with competence becomes reality with Nancy Zieman's clear and pertinent directions and timely hints. This book is wonderful for this seasoned sewer and wanna' be serger whiz.Book Review: Good book for Babylock owners
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Book Review: Just what I wanted..so far
Summary: 4 Stars
The last time I serged was in junior high school and I never learned the basics of a serger. I just bought a serger so I needed a book to tell me what the basics are. This book describes the parts of the serger, how to thread a serger, stitches that sergers can do, and projects to show you how/when to use the stitches. I like it and will feel more comfortable about the machine when it arrives!Book Review: Good Beginner Book
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent resource for beginners and the more experienced sergers as well. Colored photos and good explanations make this book a winner. There is detailed description of how a serger works as well as close views of different stitches and how they can be used. There are several project suggestions with instructions and photos. A glossary in the back will assist with any unknown terminology.
