 what do you do with a serger? July 31, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have wanted a serger for a long time and after spending lots of time on Amazon researching, I bought one. The instruction book that came with the serger shows the basics but this book fills in all the gaps. I learned more from this book than the instruction manual and playing with the new machine put together. There are lots of great tips like you don't have to buy 4 spools of thread for every project, you can use bobbins from your conventional machine for the needle thread and lots, lots more. If you are new to serging, this book is a must. It takes away all the intimidation of serging for the first time and gets you going and making your very own garments. Highly recommended!

I am a novice to the serger world. This book is fantastic if you own a serger.
I bought a new Quantum Singer Serger last month (I did a lot of research-didn't want an expensive one so I bought this one), and after hours of trying to get it to work, I finally did a couple of overlocking projects. They went well, however, the serger instructions that came with the serger, is not enough information to complete the job.
I bought this book thru Amazon, and it is worth it's weight in gold! It walks you thru step by step on how a serger works. It then guides you thru when to use the different types of pressure feet and how they work with woven fabrics and the different types of threads available for your serger.
I am still reading this book; I sit in bed every night and read a few pages. It has opend my mind on how these little power machines can be so helpful with regular sewing, or on some projects, they stand alone. It is a wonderful book to use for reference when your machine gobbles up your fabric and your needle is stuck. It guides you thru on how to remove these issues.
I highly recommend this book; the reviews on Amazon are worth taking the time to read. These are consumers that have taken the time to use their product and rate them at a consumers level. Thank you for taking the time to read this review.

This book did not cover my five thread Singer serger model purchased Dec. 2005 (paid $599). I need details on the last stages of treading. The only way I can make this machine work is to feed the front needle threads down through the pressure foot hole and the brown looper thread up through the hole in the pressure plate. This is tedious and awkward, requires tweezers and doesn't seem right...but it works. I have gone on line to the Singer serger site and found no help there either. Black threads are nearly impossible to see when threading the loopers and there is no light in the looper area to help you see what you are doing. I am working with magnifying glasses, head lamps, tweezers and screw drivers....constantly..... Grrrr!
Thank goodness for this book. February 24, 2006

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.

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
