Sergers offer project possibilities beyond the capabilities of ordinary sewing machines, but they also seem to have more potential for malfunctioning. Help is at hand from a book filled with solutions and troubleshooting advice for all manner of serger troubles. Rather than present ideas for projects, this guide tells you how to identify and correct everything from irregular tension, faulty flatlocking, and skipped stitches to machine jams, needle breakage, and much more. The "Insider Insights" chapter covers troubleshooting for individual models and enables users to apply solutions to virtually any brand of serger. There are also tips on buying a serger and details on needles, threads, and accessories.

ho hum
by Customer A2K35AWYV5XCPZ at September 29th, 2004
this book was a major disappointment. there are very few pages, ugly illustrations, and there should have been more information, such as threading. it is basically a trouble shooting guide for tensions, and it looks very good for that, but "ultimate" it isn't.
