Book Reviews of Serger Secrets: High-Fashion Techniques for Creating Great-Looking Clothes

Book Review: great serger book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought a few books on serger techniques and this is by far the most comprehensive and useful. I also have the more popular Ready Set Serge which is a waste of money in comparison to this one. Yes, this is an older edition but it has tips for real world sewing which makes it timeless. If you are looking to perfect your serging skills this is a must have.
