Book Reviews of Sewing with Sergers: The Complete Handbook for Overlock Sewing (Serging . . . from Basics to Creative Possibilities series)
Book Review: A Lot of Stuff in a Little Book
Summary: 3 Stars
For a pocket size book there is a lot packed in here. I do however agree with the other reviewer that some of it is dated. IMHO there is an overriding fascination with "decorative" overlocking. Thank goodness most of that has gone the way of rugs knit out of old breadbags. I would have liked to have seen a compendium of modern techniques focused on getting a good finished look similar to RTW instead of just an edge that is easy and won't ravel but looks "homemade."
An argument can be made as to whether or not the generic serger info should be included when it's in the manuals for the individual machines. I kind of skipped over that part tho it seems like some of the info might be useful to people who don't have a manual or have a poorly written one, especially on a basic machine.
